Austin, Texas, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Six Five Media, the technology media brand founded by industry analysts Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy and Daniel Newman of The Futurum Group, today announced the full three-day agenda for The Six Five Summit: AI Unleashed 2026, its flagship virtual enterprise-AI event running August 25–27, 2026. Registration is free at sixfivemedia.com/summit.
Headlining the event as the Day 1 opening keynote interview is Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce, who will sit down for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of the AI buildout, agents in production, and how digital labor reshapes the software business.
"AI has moved out of the demo phase and into production, and the enterprise leaders defining that shift are the ones building the platforms, the silicon, the cloud, and the agents that customers actually run," said Patrick Moorhead, CEO and Chief Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy and co-host of The Six Five. "This year’s Summit brings those CEOs on stage together — starting with Marc Benioff — for the most direct, unfiltered look at where enterprise AI is really going."
"AI Unleashed is not another vendor showcase. It’s three days of direct access to the leaders making the calls, in conversation with analysts who cover them every week," added Daniel Newman, CEO of The Futurum Group and co-host of The Six Five. "Free, virtual, and built for leaders, practitioners and buyers who need signal, not spin."
