EVENT SUMMARY
Most companies are “doing AI.” But many are still stuck in pilot purgatory. Although the majority (62%) of businesses are experimenting with AI agents, fewer than one-third have begun scaling AI across the enterprise.
Why? Because they’re ignoring the real problems:
Workflows and processes not primed for the AI-era
Messy data that hinder AI implementations
Insights that don’t drive action
AI in Action 2026 is where you learn how to fix all three. We’ll show you how to redesign workflows for impact, clean up your data, and turn analytics into decisions that matter.
