AI APPETITE

Covent Garden Hotel, London

Tuesday 21st May

18:30 – 21:30 GMT

“Every company wants to use AI but how do you decide where the priorities for spending are?”

– Forbes, 2023 

Artificial Intelligence is driving efficiencies across industries. By 2035 it has the potential to increase organisational profitability by 38% [McKinsey, 2023]. For finance leaders seeking to elevate their organisations’ profitability and advance their careers, this presents a compelling opportunity.   

 

Despite 92% of CFOs understanding the potential benefits of AI investment, organisations are grappling with a disconnect [Forbes, 2024]. Finance leaders are often excluded from the initial stages of AI projects. They are relegated to the role of budget sign-off, leading to a lack of understanding of proof of concept, and ultimately blocking game-changing transformations.   

 

Finance leaders do not belong on the sidelines. They need to seize control of the narrative to ensure they are recognised as architects of AI initiatives. How will you ensure you are integrated in the AI decision-making process from the ground up?   

THE VENUE

 

Covent Garden Hotel

10 Monmouth St, London WC2H 9HB

Nestled in the vibrant heart of London’s theatre district, Covent Garden Hotel stands as a beacon of sophistication and comfort. Just steps away from the iconic Covent Garden piazza, this exquisite hotel has one of the finest restaurants the city has to offer. The hotel’s interiors, a harmonious blend of classic elegance and contemporary style, welcome guests into a world of refined luxury. The library, adorned with curated artworks and whimsical furnishings, will serve as our intimate pre-dinner networking space before we head to The Fortune Room for the discussion and 3-course meal. 

Brasserie Max, the hotel’s celebrated culinary heart, offers a menu that showcases the best of seasonal produce. Each dish, a blend of tradition and innovation, is designed to delight and inspire, meticulously crafted under the watchful eye of the Executive Chef. The culinary journey doesn’t end with the food; our sommelier has handpicked a selection of fine wines and spirits to complement the menu, ensuring that each sip harmonises with the flavours of the dishes.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE

 

We’re committed to supporting our society and environment. When you attend a Change Makers Club event, we pledge to neutralise your carbon footprint. To offset your travel or energy usage we will plant a tree via One Tree Planted. Once mature, the average tree has a net absorption of 30 kg of CO2 per year, which equates to 227 miles of travel by car or 96 hours of office usage. You can see our maths here.
