Hey, Detroit!
Harness the momentum of AI to create a better today, tomorrow, and beyond.
AI adoption has more than doubled in the last year, with 92% of Fortune 1000s planning to increase their investments in 2022. AI is no longer an experimental curiosity—it’s table stakes for modern organizations. But Gartner reports that across industries, AI maturity isn’t keeping up with interest.
How do you take full advantage of AI—and ensure you’re doing it responsibly?
We’re going on tour with AWS, Databricks, and Tableau to help organizations like yours take the next step in your AI journey. Join us for an in-person breakfast event where you’ll learn how to harness the momentum of AI responsibly, from education and enablement, to experimentation and learning, to building and scaling. You'll walk away with tangible steps to get your organization from now to next on the AI maturity curve, plus the opportunity to network with AI experts and business leaders in your city.
Date: Tuesday, September 20th
Time: 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. ET
