We're gathering enterprise architecture and tech infrastructure professionals from around the Knoxville region to make new connections and discuss the challenges and opportunities that AI integration brings to enterprise-level organizations.
Join us at CGI's office in downtown Knoxville for networking with drinks and heavy hors d'oeuvres, along with a presentation and discussion on Tech Architecture: AI for Enterprise.
AI FOR ENTERPRISE
Artificial intelligence is poised to reshape the way enterprises operate. While startups race to build domain knowledge atop AI-native stacks, legacy organizations face a more complex task: integrating AI into deep-rooted systems and processes. This transition demands more than a chatbot plugin; it calls for rethinking your architecture, operations, and workforce strategy from the ground up.
Russ James, Director of Architecture and Head of Engineering at Regscale, will discuss how leading enterprises are successfully navigating the realities of AI adoption. He'll unpack the practical and cultural shifts required to move from bolt-on features to deeply embedded AI capabilities, and what you can do to lead your organization through this demanding—but critical—transformation.
You'll have the opportunity to share your experiences and discuss the big questions you’re wrestling with to get practical input from other Enterprise Architects and tech infrastructure professionals who are tackling some of the same challenges.
Whether you're on an Enterprise Architecture team or in a tech leadership position, join us to get a better understanding of the roadmap for AI Enterprise adoption and how to make the most of this pivotal moment, positioning your organization for continued success and industry leadership in the years to come.
