Industrial AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it is a present-day reality. From optimizing energy grids to scaling software-defined manufacturing, organizations are racing to integrate AI into their operations. But as these ambitions grow, so does the pressure on the industrial network. Are your field and plant networks ready to support the performance, security, and simplicity that the age of industrial AI demands? Join Samuel Pasquier, VP of Product Management for Cisco Industrial IoT, and Richard Mullen, Leader of Product Management for Cisco Industrial IoT, for this exclusive live session as they go behind the scenes of Cisco Live Americas 2026.
