At **Breakpoint**, speakers from NVIDIA, Microsoft, KPMG, and more cover the real decisions quality engineering leaders are facing: how to scale AI across your org, where agentic and autonomous QA workflows actually deliver, and what it takes to move past the pilot. If you're figuring out where AI fits in your QA workflow, this is a practical starting point. May 12–14\.
