Lead Boldly with Agentic AI ERP
In 2026, IT decisions and results are no longer measured in years. Competitive advantage belongs to leaders who are delivering transformation across the enterprise today, orchestrating the business with Agentic AI, reinforcing business resilience and executing at speed. Street Smart is Rimini Street’s premier, invitation-only executive forum for C-suite leaders navigating the transition to an Agentic AI-driven enterprise. Designed exclusively for CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, and select senior executives, Street Smart is a space for candid discussion, executive insight and real-world perspective from leaders operating at the front lines of transformation.
This is not a conference. It is a strategic working session for executives responsible for outcomes.
Join your peers to explore:
- How Agentic AI ERP empowers leaders to move from insight to action at scale
- Why traditional ERP Software and operating models are no longer equipped to support today’s and tomorrow’s business demands
- What executives must do now to lead, not follow, with innovation and resource readiness
Be part of the must-attend event to gain firsthand knowledge on how to redirect investment and lead with confidence as Agentic AI reshapes what’s possible now, not years from now.
