See What's Actually Working in AI Right Now

An evening for senior data, AI, and business leaders featuring presentations on AI initiatives in the real world, live awards voting, and executive-level networking.

What to Expect

Join your peers for an evening built around one question: What's actually working in AI right now?

No vendor pitches. No theory. You'll hear 4–5 local organizations present real AI initiatives — the business problem, the solution, the measurable results, and the honest lessons learned. Then you vote live to help determine which two advance to compete at the national TDWI AI Impact Awards at Transform in Anaheim.
