| This is NOT an AI Session… It’s a Reality Check | 01/28/2026 | 2:15 PM | TBD |
Description:
AI is transforming everything. But here’s the truth: for many businesses, it’s still early days. The opportunity is real, but the readiness often isn’t. So what do we do in this in-between era: when AI is here, but not quite “here for us” yet?
This session isn’t about prompt engineering or copilots. It’s about leadership in an AI-first world: how we keep our people optimistic instead of anxious, how we help organizations build the muscle for change, and how to turn the wait into preparation.
AI isn’t replacing everything tomorrow, but the leaders who start getting ready today will own the advantage when it does. Let’s talk about how to lead through this moment, with clarity, honesty, and purpose.
