Federated Intelligence: Scaling Enterprise AI Without Moving Data


Date: 15th October 2026
Time: 2:00 PM ET
Foundation models are ready — but the data that matters most (patient records, molecular designs, proprietary research) can't move to meet them. This webinar introduces Federated Intelligence: an always-on ecosystem where models, data products, agents, and infrastructure travel to the data instead of the reverse, coordinated through a neutral orchestration layer built on privacy-enhancing technology and confidential computing. Drawing on live examples already running at scale — including Lilly's TuneLab network of 100+ members — we'll unpack why federation is becoming core infrastructure rather than a one-off pilot, how participants can hold fluid roles as both contributors and consumers of insight, and what it takes to build trust. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for evaluating whether their organization is ready to join — or build — a federated intelligence network.
