Driving Data and AI Investments to Deliver Measurable Business Outcomes

Slalom is honored to join forces with Snowflake, dbt Labs, Fivetran, and Rocket Software for half-day event focused on the critical role of robust data pipelines in transitioning AI proofs of concept (PoCs) into scalable, production-level AI systems.

Attendees will learn how to leverage data ecosystems for measurable outcomes, ensuring AI initiatives are grounded in a solid data foundation for sustainable value generation within their organizations.

This event will also cover best practices for data governance, quality, and lineage that are essential for operationalizing AI, as well as strategies for articulating the importance of data infrastructure to non-technical C-suite executives to secure buy-in and support. 

We're pleased to announce Veronika Durgin, Data & Analytics Leader, will kick off the agenda with a keynote on the practical application of AI in an enterprise context. Following this keynote address are a panel of industry experts on "The Role of Data in AI Transformation", roundtable discussions, and networking among peers.

• Differences between generative AI, classic machine learning, and advanced analytics
• Distinctions among "AI-Centered" and "AI-Enabled" applications
