Verge Technologies Inc. has announced the 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 aims to help CIOs, cloud architects, and tech founders who manage three or more cloud providers unify their environments into a single, cohesive estate, reducing downtime and operational friction. The speaker roster includes executives from XTRIUM, Verge Technologies, Pocketbook, MagenTrust, and Suraksha, each bringing front-line experience to the challenge of cloud convergence.
Cloud convergence—the principle that an enterprise should run on every cloud it needs yet feel like it runs on one—addresses a common problem: many large enterprises have unintentionally adopted multi-cloud environments, resulting in separate consoles, policies, and databases that are difficult to move or protect. The summit's sessions will tackle these issues from multiple angles. Malur Narayan, CEO and co-founder of XTRIUM, will discuss leveraging cloud infrastructure for critical materials decisions, showing how a unified cloud foundation can turn dispersed supply chain data into earlier warnings. Jimmy Jobe, CEO and co-founder of Verge Technologies, will deliver the opening keynote on The Cloud Convergence Model, outlining how to manage every database and every cloud as one virtual data center.
Other featured speakers include Matt LeBaron, founder and CEO of Pocketbook, who will lead a fireside chat on cloud sprawl as a procurement problem, focusing on the costs of scattered cloud contracts and what to fix before renewal. Jacqueline Suttin, CEO and founder of MagenTrust, will address closing the zero trust gap in agentic AI for government, emphasizing human verification as database operations become autonomous. Prasad Jaladi, founder and chief facilitator of Suraksha, will explore the dual mandate for enterprise architecture, designing one coherent estate across many platforms. Additional speakers are being confirmed and will be announced to registrants first; a current list is available at 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 an intentionally resilient and cost-aware cloud estate. The event also covers autonomous management in the AI era, including self-healing, predictive infrastructure readying enterprises 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 sessions and Q&A, and recordings will be available to all registrants within 48 hours. Registration is open at https://luma.com/9zydgx4h. Sponsorship opportunities are available 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.
