About This Event
Workshops will run from 09:00-13:30 on both days to allow for a deep learning experience, provide time for reflection and accommodate busy diaries. The sessions are limited to 15 people and will focus on the strategic implementation of AI as well as hands-on learning. We will run them as forum confidential sessions and as such will only accept one company from each vertical to allow for open and constructive debate.
In the high-stakes game of business leadership, the exponential rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a tide that's turning the tables swiftly and relentlessly. It's more than just a technological advancement - it's a paradigm shift that will impact every industry across the globe. As leaders we need to immerse ourselves in the essence of AI - its strengths, its shortcomings, and the myriad of opportunities it embodies. Equally, we must be prepared to tackle the challenges it may pose to our business models head-on.
Welcome to our executive workshop - a forum conceived for the trailblazers, the CEOs, and the leaders of established companies. We will also welcome leaders from fast-growing enterprises, subject to our review.
In essence, our executive workshop is not just a learning event. It's an opportunity to shape your understanding, redefine your strategies, and secure your place in the era of AI.
