AI in the Real World: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
A candid, educational, and vendor-neutral panel on where artificial intelligence is producing meaningful results, where expectations get ahead of reality, and what leaders should consider before adopting it.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how we build products, serve customers, protect information, make decisions, and organize work. The opportunity is real—but so are the limitations, risks, and unanswered questions.
This candid panel brings together people working across different aspects of AI to share what they are seeing firsthand: where AI is producing meaningful results, where expectations are getting ahead of reality, and what leaders should consider before adopting it.
The conversation is educational, practical, and vendor-neutral. No pitches and no fearmongering—just an open space to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the AI world we are all inheriting. Attendees will have time to ask questions, describe challenges they are facing, and get practical advice from panelists and fellow members.
Registration is now open through Eventbrite. Panel details remain subject to change as the final lineup is confirmed.
