What you’ll learn

This is an education session, not a product pitch. The aim is a clearer picture — not a demo.

How companies are using AI today

A grounded look at where AI is already showing up in day-to-day work — and where it still is not a good fit.

What “ready” actually means

How to think about people, process, and the information your company already has before chasing new tools.

How to prepare for an AI-enabled future

Leave with a clearer picture of the questions worth asking next, so any later work starts in the right place.

What to expect

90 minutes together over lunch at Elijah McLean’s. A small group, and a chance to think about AI without the noise.
