On August 22, 2026, the organizing committee for the 20th International Knowledge Management in Organizations (KMO) Conference announced that the 2026 summit in Manila will center on the "Agentic Shift" in enterprise intelligence. This research milestone marks the transition from passive knowledge repositories to "Agentic Knowledge Management" (AKM) systems, which utilize autonomous AI agents to synthesize, verify, and apply organizational expertise directly within live workflows. The conference will showcase significant research results demonstrating how AKM architectures mitigate "cognitive debt" and enhance operational agility by an estimated 40% in complex, multi--system environments by automating the lifecycle of institutional memory.
