AGENDA
5:30 - 6:30 PM
AI for Growth: Finding the Right Fit for Your Business
Presented by MathWorks
AI is everywhere in the headlines, but for small and mid-size businesses, the real question is not “What AI tools should be implemented?” but rather, “Where can AI make a real difference for our organization?”
In this session, we’ll cut through the hype and focus on what matters most: identifying the processes and workflows where AI can drive productivity, efficiency, and growth. You’ll learn what AI really is — from predictive models to generative and agentic AI — and how to evaluate today’s tools in the context of your own business needs.
The session will also address limitations and ethical considerations that every organization should keep in mind when adopting AI.Through practical examples, you’ll gain clarity on how AI connects to your business strategy, what challenges to anticipate, and how to create a culture that supports responsible innovation.
Most importantly, you’ll leave with a simple, actionable framework that empowers you and your team to decide where AI belongs in your operations, and to take confident steps toward becoming AI Value Creators.This is not about adopting AI everywhere. It’s about choosing the right opportunities inside your business where the appropriate AI tools can help organizations operate more efficiently, strengthen competitive positioning, and innovate responsibly.
