Overview
Four years after the release of ChatGPT, frontier AI models continue to improve at remarkable speed. But as models and tools become commoditized, competitive advantage is shifting elsewhere. This one-day conference examines the strategic, organizational, and operational decisions that turn technological progress into lasting business value.
PROFESSIONS
AI is changing how people build products and reach customers. From software developers to marketers, how are their professions changing today?
COMPETITION
Agentic commerce will change the nature of competition. Companies are racing to make their brand visible—how are they doing it?
