Fireside Chat: Scaling AI Infrastructure for the Agentic Era
Date & Time
Thursday, July 9, 2026, 4:00 PM - 4:20 PM
Description

As artificial intelligence pivots from simple generative chatbots to complex, multi-step "Agentic AI", the global semiconductor industry faces a massive structural shift. The primary bottlenecks to scaling AI training and inference go beyond raw compute to include connectivity for inference economics and power-per-watt efficiency.

In this exclusive fireside chat, Broadcom President Dr. Charlie Kawwas unpacks the business and engineering strategies driving the company's hardware leadership. From deploying foundational IP, to co-designing next-generation custom silicon and connectivity for hyperscalers,  Dr.Kawwas explores how Broadcom balances rigorous operational discipline with multi-billion dollar R&D. Attendees will gain an inside look into why the future of massive XPU clusters relies heavily on open networking ecosystem, how Ethernet is evolving as the de facto standard for scale-up, scale-out and scale-across fabrics, and how technology leaders can future-proof their data centers and infrastructure.
