The Agentic Economy

What happens to markets, firms, and work when AI agents are not just tools but active participants that negotiate, decide, and act on behalf of people and organizations at scale? What could this shift mean and what might it require of leaders today?

Join us on November 11 for an event featuring Sanjog Misra, Charles H. Kellstadt Distinguished Service Professor of Marketing and Applied AI and Faculty Director of the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence at Chicago Booth. His talk, 'The Agentic Economy,' examines what happens to markets, firms, and work when AI agents are not just tools but active participants. They negotiate, decide, and act on behalf of people and organizations at scale. Professor Misra unpacks what that shift means and what it requires of leaders today.

Professor Misra will then engage in a fireside discussion with Vijay Talwar, MBA '99, Chief Commercial, Digital, Data, and Technology Officer at Avolta.

The event will be followed by a networking reception.
