AI is no longer a technology challenge — it’s a leadership challenge. The institutions that will thrive are not those with the most sophisticated tools, but those where leadership and workforce move together with shared purpose and shared accountability. This conference explores what it means to align people and strategy in an AI-driven world — because smarter outcomes don’t come from better algorithms alone. They come from stronger organizations.
