What can you expect?
This roundtable brings together organizations that may be at different stages of their AI journey, allowing everyone to learn from practical examples and real-life experiences.
Together with experts from Microsoft, Ingram Micro and Orbid, we will explore questions such as:
- How do we evolve from individual experiments to organization-wide AI adoption?
- What role do governance, security and compliance play?
- How do we prepare our data for the next generation of AI applications?
- How do we create buy-in and adoption across the organization?
- What can we learn from companies that are already further ahead?
In addition to inspiration and practical insights, you will have the opportunity to exchange experiences directly with other organizations that share similar challenges and ambitions.
