Now is the time: Let’s discuss generative AI in a critical peer-to-peer setting

Generative AI

Generative AI is the most transformative trend this year and growing at a faster pace than any AI technologies that have come before it, which has sparked a genuine industry-spanning uproar.

This makes right now a critical time for candid discussions about the strengths and weaknesses of the technology — about what the landscape really looks like. And doing that with peers outside your own organization, who have been in the trenches, who are about to jump in, is one of the best ways to get true perspective on the opportunities and challenges the technology presents. These conversations are what will shape the future of generative AI.

That’s why VB’s flagship event, VB Transform: Get Ahead of the Generative AI Revolution, was not only designed to help leaders get ahead of the generative AI transformation, but made networking a top priority.

Join your peers on July 11 and 12 live in San Francisco to learn how companies can get a foothold in a terrain that’s already evolving at breakneck speed. The event connects executives from top companies who are grappling with generative AI now, both new to the game and ahead of the curve, offering everything from structured roundtable discussions to happy hours, technology showcases and more.

Here’s a look at the biggest opportunities to meet, greet and get a grip on the biggest AI technology to come down the pike in ages.

VB Transform will welcome leading emerging companies at the Showcase and Innovation Alley to share cutting-edge generative AI solutions shaping the future of AI and revolutionizing the enterprise ecosystem. Come watch the Showcase, where several companies are invited to present their innovative AI products to an expert panel for an in-depth discussion of the technology’s potential. And when you explore Innovation Alley, you’ll have the opportunity to talk to and connect with the tech innovators invited to demonstrate the projects they’re developing now.

These roundtable events are designed to foster intimate discussions and share unique insights from industry experts and peers.

For instance, on July 11th at 12:20pm, Ryan Willette, VP global customer success and solution engineering at Treasure Data, and Gail Muldoon, data scientist at Stellantis will share their expertise and insights into harnessing AI-driven customer insights to unlock new possibilities for efficient growth. They’ll explore real-world examples, strategies and metrics, answer questions, and offer space for meaningful discussions.

Women in AI Breakfast: On July 11 at 7:30 a.m., women leaders in AI will enjoy an invitation-only, closed-door reception and breakfast for a thought-provoking discussion around the acceleration of emerging technologies, and why diverse teams are critical to tech product development. It’s an opportunity to meet top women executives across the industry, enjoy some excellent breakfasting, and weigh in on some of the most pressing concerns for women leaders in AI.

The Women in AI Awards: These awards, taking place July 11 at 5:30 p.m., recognize extraordinary women leaders in the AI industry for their accomplishments, thought leadership and ingenuity. Winners are selected based on their commitment to the industry, their work to increase inclusivity in the field, and their positive influence in the community.

For more focused discussions, birds-of-a-feather networking offers the opportunity to sign up for VB-hosted table discussions with like-minded peers, in twelve sessions over two days. See below for details on each session, hosted by our VB editorial team.

Host: Michael Nuñez, VB Editorial Director
