# AI CONNECTIVITY THE ROAD FORWARD
Your one-stop shop to explore all things AI connectivity — from vision and events to resources and what’s next.
_SEP 30 - OCT 1 | LOS ANGELES_
## Join us for API + AI Summit 2026
The exclusive event for the architects and leaders who are shaping the future of AI.
## Why does the world need AI connectivity?
AI connectivity is how you win the agentic AI battleground. Agents don't just consume data. They act on it — autonomously choosing APIs, tools, and other agents at machine speed across your digital ecosystem. This autonomy creates power and risk.
Without an AI connectivity strategy, there’s no visibility, governance, or cost control. This approach delivers the agentic control plane enterprises need to govern, secure, and optimize every AI interaction across the entire AI data path.
