Literacy Track Agenda
For Business Professionals and Anyone Who Wants To Get Ahead with AI
The AI Literacy Track at AI Accelerate 2025 offers a comprehensive, business-focused journey into AI, designed specifically for professionals and leaders seeking practical, actionable AI knowledge. This two-day experience begins with an inspiring keynote by Terry Jones, former CEO of Travelocity and Kayak.com, followed by an immersive full-day bootcamp that equips teams with foundational AI literacy, real-world examples, and immediate techniques to integrate AI into daily workflows.
On day two, attendees will dive deeper into generative AI with a hands-on ChatGPT & Gen AI 101 Bootcamp, gaining practical skills in prompting, data analysis, and AI-driven productivity tools. Coupled with valuable networking opportunities, receptions, and interactive workshops, this track ensures your team leaves confident, certified, and ready to drive AI-powered innovation across your organization. Attendees of both days will earn two certificates from AI Boardroom and TDWI: AI Literacy for Business Professionals and ChatGPT and Generative AI for Business Professionals.
