AI, Trust, and the Meaning of Data
with Dean Allemang

Ask a chatbot a question and you expect it to just *know* the answer — like a friend who's read everything. But that's not actually how anyone who relies on AI for real work uses it. They give it their meeting notes, their docs, their specific situation, and let the AI do what it's good at: making sense of it. The same is true inside ServiceNow. So why does it still feel risky to trust an AI's answer about your own business? This session works through that question directly: why "AI is only as powerful as your data" isn't just a slogan, why access to data isn't the same as understanding what it means, and what it actually looks like to build responsibly with AI — treating it as a way to connect to the truth, not a replacement for it.

 

Dean Allemang is a Senior Staff Research Scientist at ServiceNow and the author of Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist, one of the standard references in the knowledge graph field. Before joining ServiceNow in 2025, he spent his career helping enterprises figure out what their data actually means and how to make that meaning something a machine can use — work that's suddenly at the center of every conversation about AI. He was recently a lecturer at the ISC 2026 Summer School on Knowledge, Reasoning & Decision-Making at the University of Quebec at Montreal, and shares the same ideas with a particular application to bulding responsibly with AI at ServiceNow.

Owning Your Story: Real Skills for Real Career Growth 
with Poly Sancho

Many of the professionals building real-world ServiceNow success come from nontraditional paths. Career changers, veterans, educators, and caregivers bring skills the org didn't know it needed, yet that experience often gets discounted. Impostor syndrome fills the gap, leading to hesitation, underselling, and missed opportunity.
This session breaks that cycle. It covers recognizing impostor syndrome and interrupting it, reframing transferable skills through real examples from non-obvious backgrounds, and structuring career conversations that build visibility and growth. Participants leave with a personal exercise, a translation formula for career conversations, self-assessment questions to dismantle the impostor narrative, and tools for translating their experience into the skills, language, and visibility that support growth within the ServiceNow ecosystem.

Ideal for: individual contributors, career changers, people managers, and anyone who has thought "I'm not sure I belong here."

 

Poly Sancho, based in Costa Rica, leads AI programs at ServiceNow as a Sr. Technical Program Manager on the Strategic Programs team in APEX. Her path was never traditional, and she stopped apologizing for that long ago. She learned by doing, studied while working full time, and found her strengths by noticing what energized her versus what drained her.
What drives her is people: those early in their career, mid-career and questioning a pivot, or quietly carrying impostor syndrome while still delivering. She's sat in every one of those seats. Your story interests her more than her own, because the detours are what make your perspective irreplaceable and your experience valuable in ways that aren’t always obvious on paper.
