Featured Roundtable Topics: AI Adoption Readiness
- AI-Driven Change Management (August 20, 2026): Leadership strategies for integrating AI across an organization. Discuss how to build trust in AI, manage workforce transformation, and create a culture of continuous innovation, leaving with practical approaches to accelerate adoption while minimizing resistance.
- Governance, Risk Management & Responsible AI (October 1, 2026): As AI moves from pilot to practice, executives need a clear-eyed view of the risks — data security, compliance, and accountability — without letting caution stall progress. This roundtable helps leaders build practical governance guardrails so their organizations can adopt AI responsibly and with confidence.
- Building an AI-Ready Culture and Team (November 5, 2026): Tools alone don't drive adoption - people do. This roundtable focuses on preparing teams for AI: closing skills gaps, addressing resistance from long-tenured staff, and building the internal buy-in needed for AI initiatives to actually stick.
