Accelerating Tomorrow: Navigating Executive AI, Innovation, and Enterprise Growth
Artificial intelligence is changing how organizations build products, run operations, and compete. Leaders are now deciding how to move from experimentation to enterprise-scale adoption, and how to do it responsibly. This virtual executive roundtable from the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Industry Engagement Committee brings senior leaders from leading technology companies together for a candid, moderated conversation. They will discuss emerging AI trends, enterprise adoption strategies, industry challenges, and new ways for industry, academia, and the IEEE community to work together. You will leave with practical perspectives from executives shaping the field, ideas you can apply in your own organization, and connections with a community of technology leaders.
Our Moderator will be Dejan Milojicic, a technology leader at HP Labs and former President of the IEEE Computer Society in 2014. He brings extensive experience spanning technology innovation and professional leadership to the forum. As moderator, he will guide the executive discussion on AI innovation, digital transformation, and industry collaboration.
Join us on 2 December at 11 AM PST for a 90-minute live discussion with top executives.
