Capture Everything:
Built Open, Built for Whatever's Next
9:45 am - 10:45 am
View session details
The foundation of any intelligent security operation is complete, reliable capture - across every site, every deployment model, and every environment. But capture only works when the experience holding it together is consistent. See how the XProtect App Platform modernizes the core, how App Center delivers continuous innovation without disruption, and how a unified user experience across XProtect, Arcules, and BriefCam removes the operational friction that costs customers time and builds confidence. Add Arcules cloud-native VSaaS for the sites where traditional infrastructure doesn't make sense, and you have a platform that captures everything, everywhere, without fragmentation.

Understand What Matters: AI From Detection to Decision
11:15 am - 12:15 pm
View session details
Recording everything is table stakes. The real question is what you do with it. This session shows how Milestone is embedding practical AI across the portfolio - capabilities that solve real problems in real workflows. From AI Search that finds anyone in plain language, to Video Summarization powered by the Hafnia Vision Language Model, to automatic anonymization built directly into the product, to Project Condor's new Linux-based analytics engine this is intelligence your customers will feel, not just see on a spec sheet.

When AI Moves from Watching to Doing
2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
View session details
Detection and alerts were just the opening act. As agentic AI and visual language models take the stage, security operations are shifting from passive monitoring to real-time response. In this session, a Dell Technologies leader in video safety and security unpacks what it actually takes to move beyond the reactive loop - the infrastructure demands, the workflow changes, and the operational mindset shifts required when AI stops flagging events and starts acting on them.

Agentic AI and Physical AI: What Comes Next
2:30 pm - 3:00 pm
View session details
For decades, physical security infrastructure has been built to record and react. Physical AI changes the premise entirely. This session takes a forward look at how the convergence of edge intelligence, connected devices, and agentic AI systems is giving rise to environments that don't just respond to the world - they anticipate it. What does that architectural shift mean for how we design, deploy, and think about security systems over the next five years? This is the session for anyone who wants to get ahead of a transition that is already underway.

Keynote: The Physical AI Frontier
9:10 am - 9:30 am
View session details
AI is no longer just a software story - it is a physical one. NVIDIA has identified physical AI as one of the most significant frontiers of the next decade, and video is at the center of it. Unstructured visual data generated behind customer firewalls represents one of the most valuable and underutilized assets in the world - and the combination of Milestone's platform and NVIDIA's processing power is beginning to unlock it in ways that were not possible even two years ago.

Solved Together: Real Problems, Real Partnerships, Real Impact
11:00 am - 11:45 am

The best solutions are never one-size-fits-all - they are the result of a vendor, an integrator, and a customer working closely together to solve a specific problem in a specific environment. Three customers take the stage for approximately 15 minutes each with a focused, specific story about a real challenge and how they solved it. No lengthy presentations - each spotlight is punchy, grounded, and built around the partnership that made it possible.
