AI Without the Hype: From Boardroom to Shop Floor
This event is built for owners and leaders at every stage who are navigating AI thoughtfully, not reactively. It will feature two panels comprised of High Center member companies actively utilizing AI in their businesses, alongside experts in AI implementation and use. Attendees will hear what is working in practice, learn about emerging opportunities to explore, and have a chance to ask questions of each panel. At the end of the session, participants will be equipped to define their next area of AI application and to begin developing a longer-term implementation plan.
