An Executive Conversation on Turning AI Ambition into Results
Powered by Hylaine & Red Hat | Hosted in partnership with SAS

AI has become a board‑level imperative. Yet many organizations remain stuck in pilot mode—unable to scale AI in a way that is reliable, responsible, and delivers sustained enterprise value. This exclusive, invitation‑only executive event brings senior business and technology leaders together to focus on the leadership, data, and operating‑model decisions required to move from experimentation to enterprise‑level AI impact. Rather than exploring AI as a technology trend, this session centers on how executives lead transformation: aligning teams, modernizing data foundations, establishing scalable and feedback‑aware governance, and prioritizing use cases that deliver measurable outcomes.

What You’ll Gain

An opportunity to network with technology leaders over food and drinks, complemented by real-world insights and facilitated peer discussion exploring:

How leaders are using trusted, high‑quality data to move AI from pilots to enterprise scale

Proven leadership frameworks for reducing organizational, compliance, and operational risk

Practical approaches to structuring teams, governance, and operating models for AI success

Ways to align business and technology leaders around shared AI value metrics

Concrete steps organizations can take in the next 6–12 months to deliver measurable outcomes

Who This Event Is For

This session is designed for senior business and technology leaders who are responsible for:

Enterprise AI and analytics strategy
Data platforms, governance, and operating models
Risk, compliance, and organizational change

Attendance is intentionally limited to enable candid discussion, peer learning, and meaningful exchange among leaders facing similar challenges.

Why This Matters Now

Expectations for AI progress are rising faster than most organizations’ ability to govern, scale, and sustain it. Leaders are under pressure to demonstrate real results while navigating fragmented data, organizational complexity, and heightened regulatory scrutiny.

This event focuses on what executives can do now—over the next 6–12 months—to establish the foundations required for scalable, learning‑driven AI systems that reduce risk and deliver lasting business value.
