Stuck in AI Pilot Mode? What It Takes to Move to Production.

Most AI pilots don't fail because the technology doesn't work. They stall because the gap between a promising proof-of-concept and a production-ready initiative is wider than most organizations expect.

This is a candid panel conversation about what actually gets in the way, and what it takes to bridge it.

What the Panel Will Cover

  • Why AI pilots stall before they scale, and what to do differently from day one
  • How to tie AI initiatives to real business outcomes, not just technical wins
  • What "production-ready" actually means and how you get there
  • How to build internal momentum and get leadership behind the next phase

Who Should Attend

Business and IT leaders who are running, planning, or trying to scale an AI initiative.
