Key takeaways: Dell Internal Ambassadors share what they’re most excited about heading into Dell Technologies World.
As the Dell Internal Ambassador program enters its fourth year, the anticipation for Dell Technologies World is at an all-time high. We asked our attending ambassadors what they’re looking forward to most — from connecting with customers around the globe to going hands-on with our latest innovations. Here’s what they had to say.
AI & Innovation
Maria Renton Abu
Maria wants AI that works like a true partner, not just a chatbot.
“Agentic AI is the big one for me this DTW. From deskside to data center, I’m ready for AI that feels less like a chatbot — and more like a real assistant.”
Pierluca Chiodelli
Pierluca sees operations evolving from reactive to fully autonomous.
“As IT environments grow more complex, operations are evolving from reactive to proactive and now to agentic, autonomous. At DTW, expect to hear more about how we’re making agentic AI a scalable, product-led reality for our customers.”
Jessica Pettigrew
Jessica is focused on how intelligent automation meets customers where they are.
“I’m most looking forward to hearing more about the Dell Automation Platform, especially how Dell is raising the bar on intelligent, automated operations so our customers and partners can simplify day-to-day management and focus more on innovation. It’s a story about meeting them where they are today while helping them get ready for what’s next.”
Michael O’Hanian
Michael is ready to see AI come to life — end to end.
“I’m most excited to see how all the pieces of agentic AI and Physical AI come together into full end-to-end solutions at Dell Tech World this year — not just any one product, but the way Dell and our partners are orchestrating hardware, software, and services into real, working outcomes. I’m especially looking forward to spending time in the Claw Lab where I’ll be building a self-contained agentic AI bot using a Dell Pro Max with NVIDIA GB10.”
Storage & Infrastructure
Ihab El Ghazzawi
Ihab is all about deep, outcome-focused conversations with customers and partners.
“I guess if I had to narrow it down to one thing I’m most excited about at Dell Technologies World, it would really be the chance to sit down with our customers and partners to talk real technology-driven business outcomes — whether that’s AI, APEX, Dell Automation Platform, Storage, or Compute — and how we can turn innovation into impact together. I have two Birds of a Feather sessions, Ask the Experts sessions, and several Executive Briefing Center sessions and I’m showing up for those deep, outcome-focused conversations that shape what we build next and what our journey looks like.”
Ken Bruno
Ken promises there’s a lot more to Dell Technologies World than just four letters.
“AI AI AI AI AI. Sorry, my keyboard got stuck. At Dell Tech World, yes, you’ll hear more from us on all things AI, but you can also expect some exciting developments related to storage for private cloud, infrastructure automation, cyber resilience and plenty more. It’s going to be a big one!”
Sheetal Gour
Sheetal sees storage as the engine that moves AI from pilot to production.
“I am really excited for Dell Technologies World this year, especially the momentum around storage as the backbone of the Dell AI Factory. Our customers need a high-performance, resilient and scalable data foundation to move AI from pilots to production and that starts with getting storage right. I’m looking forward to hearing how organizations are using Dell storage to keep their AI pipelines continuously fed with the right data, in the right place, with the right protection — and turning that into real business outcomes.”
Alyson Freeman
Alyson is connecting the dots between real-time power grid data and real-world emissions reduction.
“I’m excited to announce that we are connecting servers to real-time and forecasted power grid information, which will help save energy costs and emissions. To make the complex world of power optimization more hands-on, we’ve created a competitive game — find us in the Energy Aware Compute area in the AI Booth to win prizes!”
Hands on Experience
Gerald Zapata
Gerald can’t wait to see the Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor — the world’s first 52-inch 6K monitor.
“I am incredibly excited to experience the Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor in person at Dell Technologies World this year. As the world’s first 52-inch 6K monitor, it is designed to transform the workspace with immersive clarity, seamless multitasking and all-day eye comfort.”
Powered by his Dell Pro Rugged, Forrest biked coast to coast without missing a day of work — and he’s at DTW to share his story.
“I’m very excited to be at Dell Technologies World and share more about my adventure riding my bicycle from San Diego to St. Augustine, Florida since March 2, 2026. During this time, I’m still able to stay connected to work every day with my Verizon 5G-enabled Dell Rugged devices. I’ll be at the Verizon booth at DTW where I am able to share stories from my journey and how you can truly be ‘Connected without Limits.'”
Angel Medina
Angel is drawn to where creativity and technology collide.
“My one thing is Marvel Unmasked — I’m excited to explore how imagination and technology come together to bring powerful stories to life. For me, the future of innovation isn’t just about the tech; it’s about how creativity and culture shape experiences people truly connect with.”
Catherine Young
Catherine is all in on learning by doing.
“I’m excited for hands-on AI learning opportunities! There’s nothing better than learning by doing, especially early in your career.”
Maxwell Curry
Maxwell has his eye on the hardware making headlines.
“I am very excited to learn more about the GB10, especially with how well developments have been going in that department.”
For Macy, nothing beats the collective energy of a room full of people about to witness the next breakthrough.
“It’s hard to condense it down to one thing, but I always love the anticipation moments before the keynotes. You can feel the room buzzing with curiosity on what’s about to be unveiled, who’s going to show up and the breakthroughs that will define what’s next.”
Security & Cyber Resilience
Steve Kenniston
Steve believes AI innovation and security should never be an either/or conversation.
“What has me most energized about Dell Tech World this year is that Dell is proving you don’t have to choose between AI innovation and security — you can have both, and you should demand both. From agentic AI to autonomous agents, the risks are as real as the rewards, and while a large number of AI implementations stall because no one talked about security, Dell is the company that always does.”
Colm is counting down to the main stage for a major cyber resilience moment.
“With Dell’s Cyber Resilience Insights research showing 57% of organizations couldn’t effectively contain and recover from their last cyber incident, I can’t wait to see what Arthur Lewis unveils on the main stage at Dell Technologies World. You’ll learn more about how PowerProtect is taking a major step forward in helping organizations build stronger, simpler cyber resilience.”
Our internal ambassadors will be on the ground at Dell Technologies World sharing real-time updates, behind-the-scenes moments and firsthand reactions to the biggest announcements of the year. Follow along on LinkedIn and X using #DellTechWorld and join the conversation. We want to hear your take too.
