| AGENDA | |
| 9:00 AM | Registration & Breakfast |
| 9:45 AM | Opening Remarks – The AI Quotient: Are You Ready for the Next Era of Enterprise AI? The gap between AI ambition and AI reality is widening. In this opening session, we’ll introduce the “AI Quotient”—a practical framework for measuring enterprise readiness across data, infrastructure, talent, and governance. It’s not about hype or potential. It’s about execution. Are you truly positioned to deploy AI at scale, or just piloting forever? |
| 10:05 AM | Executive Roundtable Breakout Session (Invite-Only) – From MVP to Mission Critical: Building Production-Ready AI Applications Most enterprises are stuck in the prototype phase, celebrating proof-of-concept wins while core systems remain untouched. This roundtable is a candid conversation among execs who’ve moved past the hype and are embedding AI into revenue-generating, risk-sensitive, and customer-facing systems. What does it take to go from experimentation to enterprise-grade AI? |
| 10:05 AM | Panel Discussion – The Agentic AI Enterprise: From Concepts to Scalable Systems The shift from LLMs as tools to agents as collaborators is underway—but how do you design, deploy, and scale these systems without losing control or compromising integrity? This panel explores the architecture, workflows, and cultural changes required to move from chatbot experiments to autonomous systems that actually drive business outcomes. |
| 10:55 AM | Presentation – Scaling AI Beyond Vectors: Building Smarter, Faster Systems for RAG RAG is evolving fast—and vector search isn’t enough. This session explores how enterprises are pushing past basic retrieval by integrating structured data, metadata, ranking models, and hybrid search to build smarter, faster, and more context-aware AI systems that scale. |
| 11:10 AM | Networking Break |
| 11:40 AM | Executive Roundtable Breakout Session (Invite-Only) – The CDO Mandate: Driving Business Growth Through Data + AI Strategy The Chief Data Officer role is evolving from governance gatekeeper to growth architect. In this roundtable, CDOs and data leaders will dissect how they’re aligning AI strategy with P&L impact, unlocking new value streams, and navigating the political realities of driving enterprise change with data at the center. |
| 11:40 AM | Presentation – Data Alone Isn’t Enough: Why Business Relevance Is the Missing Piece in AI Success Clean data is only half the equation. Without aligning AI initiatives to real business context, even the most accurate models fall short. This session explores how to embed domain expertise, intent, and strategic priorities into your data workflows to unlock AI that actually delivers value. |
| 12:05 PM | Presentation – Enterprise-Grade AI: Building for Scale, Security, and Sustainability: What It Takes to Go from MVP to Mission-Critical AI pilots are easy. Scaling them across an enterprise isn’t. This session unpacks the architecture, security, governance, and change management required to move from isolated experiments to robust, sustainable AI systems that drive real business impact—without breaking trust or infrastructure. |
| 12:25 PM | Networking Lunch + Open Bar Begins |
| 1:15 PM | Executive Roundtable Breakout Session (Invite-Only) – Can You Trust Your AI? Observability from Data to Decisions Enterprises are adopting AI faster than they’re building trust in it. From training data to real-time decisions, this roundtable digs into what it takes to establish observability across the entire AI stack. How do you detect drift, bias, hallucinations—or worse—before they hit the business? |
| 1:15 PM | Panel Discussion – RAGs to Riches: Transforming Retrieval-Augmented Generation into Strategic Decision-Making Assets Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has moved from a novelty to a necessity for enterprises dealing with complex internal knowledge. But RAG systems still suffer from fragility, hallucinations, and governance gaps. This session explores how forward-leaning companies are evolving RAG beyond chatbot demos into dependable decision-support engines. |
| 2:00 PM | Presentation – From PII to GenAI: Architecting for Data Privacy & Security in 2025 As generative AI systems touch more sensitive data, traditional privacy and security practices are no longer enough. This session dives into the evolving risk landscape—from PII to synthetic data—and explores how leading organizations are re-architecting their data stack for AI-era compliance and control. |
| 2:25 PM | Executive Roundtable Breakout Session (Invite-Only) – From GPUs to Governance: End-to-End Infrastructure Strategies Building the AI stack isn’t just about model access or GPU spend—it’s about long-term control, flexibility, and security. In this invite-only session, infrastructure and platform leaders will compare notes on the real trade-offs between open and closed systems, cloud vs. hybrid, and where the governance guardrails truly need to sit. |
| 2:25 PM | Panel Discussion – Governance Reloaded: A Modern Approach for AI-Driven Enterprises Traditional governance models were built for BI dashboards, not autonomous systems. As AI touches more sensitive, strategic areas of the business, governance can’t be a bottleneck—but it also can’t be a checkbox. This panel cuts through policy theater and explores how to design governance frameworks that are adaptive, enforceable, and respected. |
| 3:10 PM | Executive Roundtable Breakout Session (Invite-Only) – AI Investment Decisions: Balancing Innovation, Risk, and Return The pressure to “do something with AI” is everywhere—but not every initiative deserves budget or leadership attention. This roundtable is a frank conversation about how the best-run enterprises prioritize AI investments, kill vanity projects, and avoid being held hostage by vendors or internal hype cycles. |
| 3:10 PM | Panel Discussion – AI ROI in Practice: What Leading Enterprises Get Right Everyone’s talking about AI value—but few can measure it beyond anecdote or aspiration. In this closing panel, we’ll hear from leaders who’ve built AI programs that deliver real, quantifiable returns. Learn what they track, how they manage trade-offs, and what they’d do differently if they were starting again today. |
| 3:50 PM | Networking Reception |
