Enterprises are bolting vector search onto old infrastructure instead of asking whether their retrieval layer can actually ground an agent in real-time context.
For search, platform, security, observability and technology leaders.
Adding vector search to an existing index is a weekend of work. Making an agent trustworthy against live operational data, across search, security and observability at once, is a different order of problem, and the first rarely leads to the second.
That is the starting point for this series. Not a product session, and not a briefing. A table of senior people working through what real-time actually means for their retrieval layer, and whether the context an agent sees is the same context their operators see.
Six cities across APAC, between October and November 2026. Each table runs under the Chatham House Rule.
Elastic Q3 FY2026 earnings call, 26 February 2026. Figures pending client verification.
Each table works through the same three questions, shaped by what the room brings to them.
Most retrieval failures are freshness failures wearing a relevance costume. The first question is how stale the data behind each organisation’s agents actually is, and whether anyone measures it.
// tension: relevant and current are not the same propertySearch, security and observability data usually live in three organisations as well as three systems. This session looks at what changes when an agent can reason across all three, and who has to agree for that to happen.
// differentiator: context engineering across search, security and observabilityThe table works through what teams have actually shipped when given a context-engineering platform rather than a chatbot framework, and where the effort really went.
// trigger: Agent Builder reaching general availabilityEach city is its own table with its own room, confirmed independently. Registration of interest is open now, with dates and venues confirmed city by city.
Frontier models are becoming the operating systems of tomorrow, with real-time context across enterprise data as the differentiator.

Elastic grew out of an open-source search engine that became infrastructure almost by accident, as teams discovered that logs, metrics and security events are all search problems wearing different clothes.
The company now describes itself as the Search AI Company, unifying search, security and observability data as a single real-time context layer for AI.

Innovatus Media is a Sydney based B2B events agency that runs invitation-only executive roundtable series across APAC, EMEA and North America.
We convene senior decision makers for closed door conversations on the problems they are actually working on, and produce every element of the series end to end, from the room and the table to the follow up.
