AI analyst with more than 30 years of practitioner experience will close ScienceLogic’s annual gathering of AI-driven IT operations leaders
RESTON, VA. — ScienceLogic, delivering trusted operational intelligence through service-centric observability, AI-driven operations, and intelligent automation, today announced Mike Gualtieri, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester, as the closing keynote at Nexus Live 2026, the company’s annual customer conference.
Also the co-author of The Forrester Wave™: AI Platforms, Q2 2026, Gualtieri advises business and technology leaders worldwide on where AI strategy and execution meet. He has more than 30 years of practitioner experience designing mission-critical applications. His keynote will close the event, bringing the overall theme of the conference together: Operating in the AI Era.
Organizations face a common challenge: how to contain cost while keeping pace with AI. For IT operations, new technologies offer substantial efficiency gains, but realizing them requires a different way to operate. AI-powered services and increasingly autonomous workflows need to be observable and explainable, deliver accurate results, and meet compliance requirements in each organization’s environment. Nexus Live will show how ScienceLogic and its customers are putting that approach into practice, with a clear path from understanding to action.
“This year at Nexus Live, we are directly addressing where organizations are right now in a time of increased and rapidly evolving AI innovation. They’ve moved past experimenting with AI and are working on how to run it, including how to trust its guidance, verify its reasoning, and act with confidence,” said Arturo Oliver, senior director, market strategy and analyst relations, ScienceLogic. “Mike’s research sits at the center of that transition, and his background reflects a firsthand understanding of what it takes to make AI work in mission-critical environments. We’re glad to conclude Nexus Live with his insights at such a pivotal moment for enterprise IT.”
Nexus Live will run from October 5-7, 2026, in Reston, Va., with a Skylar One™ Operator Certification offered on October 8. To register and view the full agenda, visit: https://nexuslive.sciencelogic.com/reston/
