The session will be part of a broader discussion on how artificial intelligence is changing the way companies organize and execute work, as businesses increasingly incorporate AI systems and agents into their operations.
FUSION ’26 is aimed at CIOs and enterprise technology leaders and will focus on the emerging model of a workforce in which human employees and AI “Coworkers” operate alongside each other, according to Atomicwork.
“Companies are beginning to build a workforce where people and AI Coworkers operate side by side,” Vijay Rayapati, CEO of Atomicwork, said. “Every technology leader is figuring out how people and AI Coworkers work together, what responsibilities each should take on, and how to manage both effectively. FUSION brings together the leaders who are doing that work every day.”
Khosla will be among several prominent technology executives featured at the conference. The lineup includes Aaron Levie, CEO of Box; McKinnon; Padmaja Dasari, head of enterprise technology at OpenAI; Anand Oswal, executive vice president at Palo Alto Networks; Manohar Paluri, vice president of AI at Meta Superintelligence Labs; and Dheeraj Pandey, CEO of DevRev.
Kanu Gulati, a partner at Khosla Ventures, will also participate in the event, moderating a panel titled “The Evolution of AI from Coders to Coworkers.” The discussion will feature executives from Replit, Browserbase, PolyAI and Meta.
Other sessions will examine AI workforce operating models, enterprise AI governance and cybersecurity, agentic AI and business transformation, and the economics of combining human workers with AI systems.
Karthik Chakkarapani, senior vice president and chief information officer at Zuora, is scheduled to discuss lessons from building an AI workforce operating model.
“The real AI advantage won't belong to companies with the most tools,” Chakkarapani said. “It'll belong to companies that redesign how work senses, decides, acts, and learns.”
The conference follows Atomicwork’s inaugural FUSION event in 2025, which brought together more than 100 CIOs and technology leaders to discuss enterprise AI transformation. The company said this year’s event will continue that focus, with executives responsible for AI deployment across IT, security, product and business operations.
FUSION ’26 will be held Sept. 29 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. Attendance is by invitation only.
