      • As AI investment becomes more scrutinized, organizations can no longer rely on impressive demos or pilot projects alone. This session explores how to move beyond experimentation and build AI initiatives that deliver measurable business impact. Learn how to define success upfront, align AI use cases to operational goals, and establish the metrics and Day 2 processes required to prove ROI. Because in today’s environment, AI must drive outcomes, not just serve as innovation theater.

    • Presented by: Matt Kozloski, Sr. VP of Services and Security, Winslow Technology Group
