AI – WHERE TO BEGIN?
Covent Garden Hotel, London
Wednesday 6th March
18:30 – 21:30 GMT
“Only 4% of organisations have data that is truly AI-ready.”
– Gartner, 2023
In the heart of the global business economy, where household names set the pace, Artificial Intelligence has become a pivotal force. With AI predicted to contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy in 2030 [PwC, 2023], it’s clear that it is redefining the way major businesses operate, make decisions, and interact with their customers.
The challenge for these market influencers is not whether to adopt AI – that’s already a given. With technology evolving at a breakneck pace, the real conundrum lies in the ‘how’ and ‘when’ to implement AI into complex, global business operations. Missteps are not an option, especially when AI leaders are seeing a 4.2x higher ROI compared to followers [IDC, 2023].
The pressure to “get it right” is immense, leading to hesitation and uncertainty among many but choosing to wait will leave you behind. The question is how will you cut through the noise and plethora of tools, vendors, platforms, and methodologies available to identify the right AI investments for your organisation?

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.
