Most companies use AI. Very few are built around it.

Short showcases, a sharp panel, your questions, then connection.90 seats, shared with the Mercedes-Benz.io team. Free, guest list only.//////////////////////////////////////ON STAGE

Moderated by Michael Robinson, Virgo. Innovation for TechRun Stage.//////////////////////////////////////ON TOPIC
OrganisationWhat separates a company that uses AI from one that is truly AI-native? Which assumptions in the traditional operating model no longer hold?
LeadershipHow do you lead a transformation when you can’t honestly say what the organisation will need in two or three years? What should leaders reinvent, not just improve?
Technology + ProductWhen AI can write the code and generate the customer experience, what do engineers and product teams still own?
Got a sharper question? We are curious to hear from you. The event registration asks for it, and the best ones open the Q&A.
