What to expect from UiPath Fusion 2025
He calls them “robots” in fact, not software bots, automations or agents per se…
UiPath CEO Daniel Dines often talks directly about robotic process automation (RPA) and its intelligent accelerators as a land populated by “software robots”, although that topography is of course now widely populated by agentic AI functions too.
This practical approach to automation is probably why UiPath talks about its Fusion 2025 conference as the meeting point (fusion, yes, we get it) between agentic AI and return on investment *(ROI) today.
Held from Sept 29-Oct 2 in Las Vegas, UiPath Fusion is billed as an event for technology and business leaders ready to turn AI and automation into measurable value.
“Discover how to orchestrate agents, robots, people and systems, with governance and security embedded from the start,” heralds the company, in its welcome address.
With parallel events held around the rest of the world most years (including the UK) this is the coming together of UiPath’s customers, prospects, partners, analysts, press (we get a mention, who knew?) and internal stakeholders.
The event’s core focus is agentic automation i.e. the convergence of autonomous AI agents, RPA and human workflows to drive measurable ROI in enterprise settings.
With Dines set to reprise his famous breakout sessions (the Romania-born business leader has never learnt to lean on terms like “ground-breaking” and he shrugs off any notion of marketing hyperbole when he speaks), the event will also feature breakout tracks, roundtables, hands‑on workshops and peer‑led breakout rooms including an “agentic arena” expert clinic.
Past the hype?
Talking of no hype, UiPath says that this year’s event aims to help organisations and individuals to “see past the hype” in terms of their understanding of how AI agents and RPA services (sorry, robots) are orchestrated and managed in environments where they dovetail with human collaboration.
Industry-specific focus for applications here will span verticals including healthcare, finance, manufacturing and public sector. CEO Dines will be joined by CPO Graham Sheldon and CTO Raghu Malpani who will explain the compay’s roadmap and product vision around agentic AI and automation innovation.
The guest speaker is Stanford University’s Erik Brynjolfsson, who will explain and deconstruct digital economy trends, AI conomics, and transformation strategies. His presentations are designed to show leaders how human-like Al can be powerfully applied to maximise efficiency when performing specialised jobs and tasks.
Key partners and sponsors include Accelirate, Ashling, Auxis, Cognizant, Greenlight Consulting, Lydonia, Protiviti, qbotica, Roboyo, TQA and WonderBotz.
“Will agentic become endemic? Signs point to yes. First movers’ success in a wide range of use cases and industries – which have demonstrated significant improvements in speed, reaction time, personalisation, efficiency and innovation – are stirring up interest among both technology analysts and corporate leadership,” notes the company, in its 2025 agentic AI report.
Developers & UiPath
Looking at this event for software application developers, UiPath promises valuable content for process leaders, analysts, software developers and automation engineers. There wll be technical workshops staged to allow developers to get hands-on with UiPath’s software tools (that will include UiPath Studio, Agent Builder, AI Center, Autopilot and Orchestrator) and learn about integration patterns that make use of LLMs, document understanding, APIs and workflows.
“Siloed point solutions can’t support a comprehensive and cohesive automation strategy. So we’ll show how the UiPath platform orchestrates all the components you need to transform processes and workflows across the enterprise – to make holistic automation strategies a practical reality,” notes the company, on its event promo pages.
UiPath says it will help developers align coding practices and architecture decisions with UiPath’s evolving platform vision. Partners also come into play here, many of them will be available to show how developers can collaborate on projects to embed code, custom activities, APIs and data pipelines in large-scale customer deployments.
Callout firms at this level might include Cognizant and Protiviti, who are known for working with developers when they are looking to build integrations, custom agents, or connectors for clients. Also of interest are qBotica, WonderBotz and Roboyo as these companies work on machine learning driven automation and AI pipelines, which (arguably) makes them very useful for developers interested in language models and advanced process mining.
The developer playground
As UiPath puts it… Fusion 2025 isn’t just a conference or showcase of some kind, it is intended to be a “developer playground” and strategic staging ground, enabling automation engineers to transition from building RPA scripts to architecting autonomous agent‑driven workflows.
