Why Attend AI World?

Now in our fourth year, AI World Conference and Expo has become the industry’s largest independent business event focused on the state of the practice of AI in the enterprise.

The AI World 3-day program delivers a comprehensive spectrum of content, networking, and business development opportunities, all designed to help you cut through the hype and navigate through the complex landscape of AI business solutions. This year’s event will feature 250+ speakers, 100+ sessions and more than 30+ programs, all focused on a singular mission: to help your company understand how to accelerate your business value through today’s AI solutions.

AI and associated intelligent based technologies have attracted more investments than any other technology market in history (source: Goldman Sachs), yet, less than 10% of global 2000 enterprises have harnessed AI significantly. Early adopters and innovators are pulling away from their competitors (source: MIT Sloan Management Review). To be competitive in the future, your company needs an AI strategy, and there is no better way to develop your strategy than to hear directly from industry visionaries from a multitude of industries.

Attend AI World and learn how innovators are successfully deploying AI and intelligent automation to accelerate innovation efforts, build competitive advantage, drive new business opportunities, and reduce costs.
