ZEDEDA Announces TRANSFORM 2026, Bringing Together the Teams Deploying AI in the Physical World

ZEDEDA, the leader in edge intelligence, announced TRANSFORM 2026, a two-city conference for the technical and operational leaders deploying AI beyond the data center—in the factories, energy grids, transportation networks, retail floors and remote sites where businesses actually run.

TRANSFORM comes to The Post Oak Hotel in Houston, Texas, on Sept. 15, 2026 and the Sofitel Frankfurt Opera in Frankfurt, Germany, on Oct. 22, 2026.

As enterprises move from AI experimentation to production, many are finding that operational environments raise problems traditional cloud architectures were never built to handle. Connectivity constraints, security requirements, heterogeneous hardware and the realities of managing systems across thousands of locations are reshaping how enterprises think about AI infrastructure.

Under the theme “Intelligence at the Edge: Where AI Meets the Physical World,” TRANSFORM will explore how organizations build and operate intelligent systems in real-world environments. The event will feature technical sessions, customer case studies, expert panels and discussions focused on the practical realities of deploying AI at scale.

“AI is increasingly moving closer to where decisions need to happen,” said Said Ouissal, CEO and founder of ZEDEDA. “TRANSFORM is designed for the builders, operators and innovators working through the challenges of running AI in distributed environments. The conversations will focus on what organizations are learning from production deployments and how those lessons are shaping the future of edge intelligence.”

The conference agenda will explore topics including:

• Edge intelligence and autonomous operations
• Physical AI and real-time systems
• AI infrastructure, inference and agents
• Edge orchestration and fleet operations
• Security and resilience in distributed environments
• AI acceleration and heterogeneous hardware
• Scaling edge AI from pilot projects to production
• OT and IT convergence

ZEDEDA’s call for proposals is now open to practitioners, technology leaders, developers and industry experts with firsthand experience deploying and operating AI in the field. The conference is prioritizing customer case studies, technical deep dives, demonstrations and panels with measurable outcomes from production deployments. Selected speakers receive complimentary event access and the opportunity to share their expertise with a community of industry leaders, developers and enterprise technology teams.
