What we’ll discuss
AI is moving quickly from experimentation into the day-to-day running of IT, but knowing where it can create real value is only part of the challenge. This private dinner gives Birmingham technology leaders the opportunity to compare experiences and discuss how they’re approaching AI in their organisations.
TOPICS WE’LL COVER
- Moving AI from experimentation into measurable business and operational value
- Deciding where AI should automate, where it should augment people and where human judgement remains essential
- Adapting IT teams, skills, governance and accountability for AI-enabled operations
The Format
We’ll have a few starting points for the discussion, but ultimately the conversation will go wherever attendees want to take it. Share what’s working, talk about the challenges you’re facing and compare notes with other senior IT leaders.
No presentations I No sales pitches.
Just a focused discussion, followed by dinner and drinks.
Attendance is free, but places are limited and reserved for senior IT leaders.
