Join Kevin Petrie, VP Research with BARC, the industry's trusted voice on enterprise AI transformation, as he unveils exclusive findings on what's actually working – and not working – in enterprise AI deployments worldwide followed by a vigorous discussion with attendees about the state of AI adoption.
This isn't another AI hype session. This is your direct line to the most comprehensive, brutally honest intelligence on enterprise AI adoption insights and answers to your burning questions.
You'll get the answers to the questions keeping you up at night:
How the 20% Got to Production: What are the most significant barriers executives are reporting in scaling AI from pilot to production, and how do those differ across industries?
Risk and Reward: How are executives approaching the tension between innovation and risk, particularly in highly regulated sectors?
Board-Level Buy-In: The 3 metrics that got executive committees to greenlight multi-million dollar AI investments
Offense or Defense: What is the balance between defensive (cost/efficiency-driven) AI strategies and more offensive (growth and innovation-focused) ones?
ROI Reality Check: Real numbers from real deployments—what you can actually expect to achieve (and when)
The Hidden Accelerators: The non-obvious factors that separate 6-month deployments from 3-year struggles
Regional dynamics: How North American and European adopters compare in pain points, requirements and AI maturity
