How IT Leaders Are Actually Using AI to Improve Operations Today
Virtual Event Presented by Professional Development Experts
Wednesday August 19th, 2026 @ 12 pm EDT
The AI landscape shifted dramatically this summer, from the Fable 5 release-and-recall drama to Hugging Face getting “kinda” hacked by OpenAI, showing just how capable agentic AI has become. So, what does this mean for the IT leaders responsible for keeping operations running? Join Tim Chan for a practical, 60-minute session on how “self-driving companies” are moving past one-off chatbot experiments to integrate AI across the organization, with a careful eye on governance, data security, and cost controls.
You’ll learn where to start adoption and how to spread it, how to set boundaries for today’s powerful models, how to reduce the unknowns, and what are some critical skills that all IT teams should have.
