About this event

  • 8 hours 30 minutes

Join us for a day filled with exciting discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. Our event will take place at the University of Illinois, IIllini Center, 200 South Wacker Drive, directly across from the Willis Tower.

A one day conference that tackles every company’s AI journey, starting from the beginning - covering early stage adoption, experimenting with AI, to full-scale AI development projects. Through first-hand experience, and interviews with AI experts, find a real path to AI adoption. Year-long processes are distilled into a single day for concrete examples of how the technology can be leveraged.

  • Incubate: Balance risk and reward, and more importantly, understand where to start. Unsure even if you should completely block ChatGPT or build a custom AI project? Hear from AI experts on what you need to know to pick a starting point, and what pitfalls to avoid.
  • Accelerate: What are the ways to maximize experimentation? How do you jump from experimentation to leveraging solutions? See real life examples of different ways to use AI to solve common business problems – from free solutions to bespoke options
  • Scale: Hear from companies that have successfully solved customer problems with AI, understand governance and management issues, and how to track ROI and business success
