Tom Abbott to speak on Services-as-Software at Cantor Convergence

Tom Abbott, Co-CEO and Cofounder of Galatiq, will speak at Cantor Convergence 2026 in Miami Beach on November 12, joining Allen Badeau, Lawrence Whittle, and Ranjit Tinaikar on the panel "Services-as-Software: selling outcomes instead of headcount." The session runs from 2:35 to 3:05 PM ET.

Cantor Convergence is Cantor's fourth annual conference on crypto, fintech, AI, and energy infrastructure. It runs from November 10 to 12, 2026 at The Ritz-Carlton South Beach.

Why the panel matters

Professional services have long been sold by the hour and staffed by the head. A bigger problem meant a bigger team, and the invoice grew with it. Agentic systems break that link. When software can carry out the work, the question a buyer asks changes from how many people a project needs to what result it delivers and how soon.

The panel takes up that change: how a firm scopes, sells, and stands behind an outcome once agents do much of the work that people used to bill for.

How Galatiq works

Galatiq works on the delivery side of that change. Its forward deployed engineers sit inside a client's operations, find the workflows where work gets stuck, and put Grok agents into production in weeks. An engagement starts narrow, proves its value on one real workflow, and then scales across the organization. The client's team owns the result and can extend it. Why Galatiq forward deploys its engineers covers the approach in more detail.
