Verge Technologies Inc. has announced featured speakers for its Cloud Convergence Summit, a free virtual event scheduled for October 8 and 9, 2026, from noon to 5 PM Central each day. The summit targets CIOs, cloud architects, and tech founders who manage three or more cloud providers and seek to unify them into a single estate, minimizing downtime and operational friction.
Cloud convergence is the concept that an enterprise should run on every cloud it needs while still feeling like it operates on one. Many large enterprises unintentionally adopted multi-cloud environments, resulting in separate consoles, policies, and databases that are difficult to move or protect. The summit addresses these challenges with sessions led by industry practitioners.
Featured speakers include Malur Narayan, CEO and co-founder of XTRIUM, who will discuss leveraging cloud infrastructure for critical materials decisions and using AI to mitigate supply disruptions. Jimmy Jobe, CEO and co-founder of Verge Technologies, will deliver the opening keynote titled “The Cloud Convergence Model” on Thursday, October 8, at 12:00 PM CT, outlining a model for managing every database and cloud as one virtual data center. Matt LeBaron, founder and CEO of Pocketbook, will host a fireside chat on cloud sprawl as a procurement problem, focusing on what to fix before the next renewal. Jacqueline Suttin, CEO and founder of MagenTrust, will present on closing the zero trust gap in agentic AI for government, emphasizing human verification as database operations become autonomous; MagenTrust and Verge announced an integration on July 15, 2026. Prasad Jaladi, founder and chief facilitator at Suraksha, will cover the dual mandate for enterprise architecture and designing a coherent estate across platforms. Additional speakers are being confirmed and will be announced to registrants first. For a complete list, Click here for all Speakers.
Attendees will learn how enterprises running four to seven cloud providers are replacing separate consoles with a single management plane, how operators are working to eliminate planned outages and cut disaster recovery time for the database layer, and how to build a multi-cloud estate that is intentionally resilient and cost-aware. The event also explores autonomous management in the AI era, including self-healing, predictive infrastructure for expanding AI workloads. After the event, attendees can request a sandbox of Verge’s SentientDB on their own stack.
The summit is free to attend, with live Q&A in every session, and recordings will be available to all registrants within 48 hours. Registration is available at https://luma.com/9zydgx4h. Sponsorship opportunities can be discussed via Email Contact. Verge Technologies Inc. builds SentientDB, an AI-driven platform that lets enterprises manage databases across cloud providers, regions, and environments as if they were in one virtual data center.

The Cloud Convergence Summit matters because multi-cloud sprawl has become a costly and complex reality for many organizations. By bringing together experts to share strategies for unification, the event aims to help enterprises reduce downtime, streamline operations, and prepare for AI-driven workloads. As cloud adoption continues to grow, such convergence efforts could become essential for maintaining competitive advantage and operational efficiency.
