Opening Remarks

Kick off the summit with opening remarks from Robert Jaggers, CEO of the Institute for AI Transformation, as he introduces the themes and priorities for the day ahead. This brief session will lead into our opening panel, setting the focus for impactful discussions to follow.

The Great Balancing Act:
AI Innovation VS AI Safety

In today’s AI race, the most forward-thinking organizations know that speed alone isn’t the differentiator — trust is. Moving too slowly risks missing opportunity, but moving too fast without the right safeguards can erode customer confidence, invite regulatory scrutiny, and amplify bias or unintended consequences. This panel will explore how senior leaders are finding the sweet spot between rapid innovation and robust safety, ensuring their AI strategies deliver both impact and integrity.

Speakers will unpack how teams set ambition and guardrails, decide when to accelerate or pause, and implement the right mix of oversight and agility. From real-world examples of bias detection and hallucination prevention to designing AI with clear purpose and accountability, we’ll examine how today’s most effective AI leaders are redefining “safe speed” in the era of intelligent systems.

Data Alchemy: Transforming
Enterprise Data into AI Gold

Data is the new strategic currency of successful enterprises. As data access becomes increasingly constrained by privacy and regulatory limitations, synthetic data, sophisticated fine-tuning, and efficient inference become essential differentiators. Join this panel of thought leaders as they reveal strategic approaches to leveraging these powerful tools, empowering your enterprise to innovate rapidly and effectively in a data-constrained environment. Turn today’s data challenges into tomorrow’s competitive edge.

Opening Networking Break

Beyond The Algorithm:
AI Built Around The Customer

In the high-velocity world of CPG retail, the difference between a loyal customer and a lost one often comes down to experience. Yet too often, AI deployments sit in silos—disconnected from the people they’re meant to serve. This panel dives into how leading CPG retailers are re-architecting their AI strategies with the customer as the central design point.

Speakers will unpack how interoperable systems are uniting retail media, supply chain, and service channels; how human-in-the-loop governance ensures trust; and how modular architectures accelerate time-to-value while keeping experiences seamless from shelf to doorstep. From real-time shelf visibility to privacy-safe personalization, we’ll explore how the right blend of tech and human oversight is redefining what “customer-first” means in the AI era.
