Agentic Work: Live + Labs — Bentonville
📅 Thursday, 9 July 2026 in 20 days
A half-day Google Cloud event in Bentonville, Arkansas, on moving from AI chatbots to action-taking agents, with keynotes, live Gemini Enterprise demos, a customer panel and a hands-on workshop.
Held at the Heartland Whole Health Institute in Bentonville, this Agentic Work: Live + Labs session is Google Cloud's pitch for what comes after the chatbot. The framing is explicit: the first wave of AI plateaued at passive assistants, and the event is about active agents that take action semi-autonomously across applications. The afternoon opens with a networking lunch, then a keynote on transforming work with AI agents, a live demo of Gemini Enterprise woven into Google Workspace, and a technical deep dive into the architecture behind a secure, governed agentic ecosystem.
A customer panel grounds the theory in real deployments, and a 75-minute hands-on Gemini workshop lets attendees build rather than just watch — bring a personal laptop. It closes with a demo-floor reception. Pitched at IT and business leaders evaluating agentic adoption, it's free to attend with required registration. A solid Arkansas-region addition to the directory's US coverage.
