Join a fireside chat style conversation between two leaders in the field as they discuss how a gradient of resources will stretch from the edge back to the regional data center. How can these resources enable intelligent workloads that span from edge to core and unleash many new use cases? How can edge and core be integrated effectively, and can real intelligent infrastructure exist? Our speakers are on the front line of answering these questions.

Edge computing itself is not a use case; it is an enabler of emerging use cases that will shape industries around us for years to come. This makes it essential to identify the ideal uses for the next generation of infrastructure. What are some of the key elements of an optimal edge-native use case and how can we build them out? We’ll look at everything from distributed AI to intelligent healthcare and city-scale IoT, from online gaming to video streaming and remote collaboration.
