Applied AI Roundtables: Aligning AI with Business Strategy

Using Chatham House Rules for anonymity, the entire delegation will share GenAI use cases. 'Who' shares 'what' remains anonymous. But everything from global operationalization to improved team-based or even personal efficiencies will be surfaced. We'll populate these real-time AI use cases into a post-show report, where you'll see hundreds of actual real-time AI use cases which can be implemented immediately. As a community, we collectively uncover use cases and case studies showcasing the real-time AI Impact on Organizational Efficiency, Value, Teams & The Bottom-Line.
