About this session
Everyone's talking about AI agents. Fewer are talking about what actually happens when you try to roll them out across a live revenue org — the internal politics, the IT pushback, the change management nobody budgeted for, and the moments where it all starts to click. This session distills hard-won lessons from GTM leaders at companies like Canva, Autodesk, KPMG, and Freshworks who have moved past the pilot phase and are running AI agents in production across their go-to-market teams. Drawing from Relevance AI's work with hundreds of GTM orgs and candid conversations from our AI Workforce Council — an executive forum for leaders navigating this shift — we'll cover what nobody puts in the vendor pitch deck: why the best deployments start with broken processes, not new technology; how to bring IT to the table before they bring the blockers; what "human-in-the-loop" actually looks like at scale; and why the teams seeing 10x output aren't the ones with the best AI — they're the ones that changed how they operate. Real stories, real failures, real frameworks.
