About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

AI & Automation: Beyond the Bullshit is a focused industry event that goes beyond the hype and buzzwords to provide a clear, practical understanding of how AI-powered automation is being implemented today — and what it really takes to succeed.

We’re all suffering from AI overload — many leaders are left asking the same questions:What’s actually working? What’s just noise? And how can we apply this technology to drive real business value — not just experiments?

This session cuts through the noise and gives you concrete insights you can actually use.

We’ll showcase real-world use cases from across the spectrum — from legacy enterprises to disruptive scale-ups — and highlight how AI and automation are reshaping industries in very different ways. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s possible, what’s overhyped, and what to do next.

Who It’s For

  • CIOs, CTOs, and Digital Transformation Leads
  • Functional leaders exploring automation within supply chain, logistics, finance, or customer service
  • Founders & operators at fast-scaling startups
  • Product, strategy, and automation teams looking for real-world perspective
  • Anyone tired of the fluff and ready to get tactical



What You’ll Gain

  • Real-world case studies of AI and automation in use — including behind-the-scenes lessons on cost, complexity, and ROI
  • Cross-industry perspectives from both traditional and modern organizations, highlighting the strategic opportunities and operational hurdles unique to each
  • Live discussion and open Q&A on the risks, barriers, and high-leverage moves to consider when planning or scaling AI-driven initiatives
