We will speak with product teams selling AI-related products and services about why they're building their product, who it's for, what problems it solves, and value it delivers, and what they're ultimately achieving for their customers.
We will speak to buyers, whether they are in the C-suite or the field, to help them better understand how this market is developing, so that they know what's possible, now vs. later. We'll also discuss strategy, vendor selection, and enterprise integration.
We will also speak with project teams who are in the trenches, executing AI projects to uncover lessons learned and obstacles to success and potential ways to overcome those obstacles. The goal is to share the lessons learned so that others may follow in their footsteps and have a smoother path.
