SUMMARY:MCP vs. AI Agents - learn the difference & what large enterprises are using to scale AI adoption & drive business impact
DESCRIPTION:7775 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 100\nNew Albany\, OH 43054\nFriday 5/8/26\, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm\nBe ready to interact with our featured speaker\, Brandon Levine\, and your fellow participants. \nPlease arrive at 11:00 am. Eat. Mingle. Make new friends.\nPlease join us for this cutting edge TIGER Talk focused on how AI Agents and MCP infrastructure are enabling large enterprises to deliver meaningful impact on business results. \nNote: MCP = Model Context Protocol \nOur presenter\, Brandon Levine\, will cover: \n1. The Fundamental Difference\nClear explanation of what AI Agents are (the “who”) vs. what MCP is (the “how”) \n2. Enterprise Adoption Challenges\nThe three critical blockers enterprises face: security governance\, integration chaos\, and ungovernable access \n3. Real-World Solutions\nHow large enterprises are successfully scaling AI through enterprise-grade MCP infrastructure with: \n\nMulti-system orchestration capabilities\nGranular permission scoping\nProduction-ready scale (5\,000+ requests/second)\n\n4. Practical Use Cases\nIncluding: \n\nMulti-system AI orchestration (complex workflows across Salesforce\, Gong\, Gmail\, Snowflake\, etc.)\nPersonal AI assistants at scale (1\,000+ employees with controlled access)\n\nDuring the session\, Brandon will provide live demonstrations of: \n\nSales AI Agent – Showing autonomous multi-step workflows and decision-making\nData MCP Server – Demonstrating governed enterprise data access with security controls\n\nThese real-world examples will illustrate exactly how MCP and AI Agents work together in production environments. \nThe key message: MCP isn’t competing with AI Agents – it’s the critical infrastructure layer that makes enterprise AI agent deployment safe\, scalable\, and governable. \nBrandon has also incorporated insights from recent enterprise implementations showing how companies are moving from “AI experiments” to “AI in production” by solving the governance and integration challenges. \n*************** \nBrandon Levine works at the intersection of emerging AI technology and real-world business transformation\, guiding Fortune 500 companies through the practical adoption of agentic systems. \nAs VP of Agentic AI at Workato\, Brandon leads a specialist team helping enterprises deploy AI agents and automation at scale. Brandon brings both hands-on technical depth and executive-level perspective to the rapidly evolving AI agent landscape\, making him a trusted voice on how organizations can harness AI agents for measurable business impact.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE. \nTimeline: \n11:00 am – Coffee\, Snacks\, & Socializing \n11:15 am – Lunch & More Socializing \n11:45 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (10 seconds please) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Brandon \n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    First\n                                                    \n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                            Last\n                                                            \n                                                        \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.
