DAY ONE

12:00 PM PANEL - Beyond the hype: Stop talking about AI and start doing

The AI conversation has been loud, ambitious, and full of promise. But the real test is beginning now when the talk stops and execution begins. As organizations move past experimentation and pilots, AI is colliding with operational reality, including legacy processes, fragmented data, security concerns, and growing pressure to deliver measurable return on investment (ROI). Discuss what real-world teams are actively doing with AI in their day-to-day work. Find out what actually happens when AI becomes part of operational processes, what breaks, what works, and what it really takes to move from ideas to impact.
What you'll learn:
  • What changes when AI moves from experimentation into daily practice.
  • How teams are embedding AI into real workflows, not just running pilots.
  • The practical realities of managing data structure, governance, and security at scale.
  • Where organizations struggle to prove ROI and how leading teams are measuring value.
  • How to turn AI ambition into operational results.
