This year’s Pax8 Beyond 2025 wasn’t just another tech conference — it was a declaration: AI is no longer optional. It’s the new foundation for how we solve problems, scale operations, and deliver value.
The theme was crystal clear: the world is shifting from software-powered businesses to agent-powered businesses, where intelligent automation becomes a core part of daily operations.
Pax8 CEO Scott Chasin coined a phrase that defined the event: “The Agentic Inflection Point.” We’re entering an era where ideas execute themselves, powered by AI agents that understand context, anticipate needs, and take action autonomously.
This isn’t theoretical. It's real, and it's happening fast. Chasin’s vision emphasized how businesses must move beyond passive tools toward active systems that drive outcomes.
Pax8 introduced a whole ecosystem to accelerate adoption:
Microsoft’s Travis Walter framed the AI journey like a mountain climb: start by being Customer One, prepare your culture, and build trust through early agent adoption.
Copilot, Microsoft’s flagship AI assistant, isn’t just for documents — it’s a workforce multiplier. Combined with Pax8’s ecosystem, businesses now have direct access to deploy intelligent agents at scale across sales, service, finance, and operations.
AI’s role in security took center stage, too:
Security is no longer about faster alerts — it’s about intelligent action—the result: stronger protection with fewer manual touchpoints.
From robot dogs and humanoid assistants to deeply technical rollouts of autonomous systems, Pax8 Beyond 2025 painted a clear picture:
Agents, not apps, drive the next phase of digital transformation.
This isn’t about adding more tech - it’s about reshaping how work gets done, how teams scale, and how outcomes are delivered.
Those who embrace this shift will outpace, out-innovate, and outlast the competition.
For the Nucleus team, Pax8 Beyond 2025 wasn’t just an event - it was a catalyst.
CEO Jennifer Roy and CTO Karl Fulljames walked away energized by the conversations, innovation, and clear direction the industry is heading. As proud members of the Canadian MSP ecosystem, we have seen firsthand how AI is reshaping not only the tools we use but also the very way we think about service delivery and scalability. From inspiring keynotes and cutting-edge security insights to powerful moments, such as Jennifer’s recognition at the Women in Technology Awards, this year’s event reminded us why we lead with curiosity, adopt early, and stay future-focused. The agent-powered era is here, and Nucleus is ready.
