Leaders in AI Summit Chicago 2026
Sep 16, 2026 · Time to be announced
Published schedule: 4:10 PM - 4:50 PM. Enterprise AI adoption isn’t about quick wins or one-off pilots — it’s about the hard-earned lessons that transform experimentation into real business impact. This fireside chat cuts through the hype to explore what it actually takes to drive adoption across a complex organization. From standing up sandbox environments and leveraging synthetic data, to building frameworks for use case intake and collaborating with Finance on productivity-based ROI, this session offers practical insights on scaling responsibly. You’ll learn how to activate employees through grassroots programs like Office Hours and Hackathons, use AI to augment — not replace — teams, and unlock the hidden value of unstructured documents. Leaders will leave with actionable strategies for navigating cultural resistance, aligning stakeholders, and embedding governance that evolves alongside innovation.
