MACH Forward: Standards Fatigue, Making Sense of Agent Protocols at Scale

Feb 25 2026 - By Alliance

When the future isn’t settled yet, how do teams move forward?

As agent protocols and standards evolve faster than governance, leaders are being forced to make real decisions without clear convergence. Join MACH Forward as Dana Lawson shares how senior teams are navigating protocol choice, interoperability pressure, and standardization decisions while still shipping and moving forward.

What we’ll cover:

• Why standards fatigue is showing up now in agent architectures

• How teams decide what to standardize and what to leave flexible

• Avoiding premature lock-in while building systems

• Making progress even when the ecosystem is still forming
