From GenAI experiments to real-world impact
A promising GenAI pilot is one thing. Making it work across real teams, workflows and business operations is another.
Which use cases are worth pursuing? What needs to change for people actually to adopt AI? How do organisations balance innovation with governance? And how do we know whether GenAI is delivering meaningful value?
For the launch of GenAI Community London, we're bringing together people who are building, implementing and leading GenAI initiatives to explore what happens when AI ambition meets organisational reality.
Join Mel Schemith and Karina Arteaga for an experience-led conversation about the decisions, challenges and lessons that shape successful GenAI adoption.
We'll explore not only what's working, but what's proving difficult, what organisations are learning along the way and what practitioners can do differently.
Meet the speakers
Mel Schemith
Managing Director, UK & Europe | Jeen.ai
Mel works with organisations on enterprise AI strategy, AI agents, workflows and governance. Her experience spans Microsoft, AWS and IBM, including leading Data and AI for Microsoft's UK public sector.
She brings a practical perspective on integrating AI into enterprise operations, maintaining oversight as adoption scales and connecting implementation decisions to measurable business outcomes.
Karina Arteaga
Founder & CEO | Visible Global
Karina advises leaders and organisations on AI strategy, operating models and organisational transformation.
The former Head of Business Strategy at Meta and VMware, she brings experience connecting technology with business priorities, leadership, workflows and culture. Her work focuses on AI for business, what organisations need to change to move AI from strategic ambition into everyday practice.
What we will explore
From experimentation to implementation: Choosing where GenAI can create meaningful value and understanding the trade-offs behind implementation.
Adoption beyond technology: The roles of people, leadership, workflows and organisational culture in making AI useful.
Governance and business value: How organisations approach control, accountability and the measurement of outcomes.
Lessons from practice: What's working, what isn't and what others can learn from real implementation experiences.
Expect an open conversation, audience questions and an opportunity to exchange perspectives with people navigating similar challenges.
There will also be time to meet and connect with fellow GenAI practitioners across London.
Who should join
This meetup is for professionals already involved in building, evaluating, implementing or leading GenAI initiatives.
AI and software engineers · Technical leads · Product and operations leaders · Founders · AI consultants · Strategy and innovation teams
Whether you're developing an AI application, integrating GenAI into existing workflows or leading adoption across an organisation, this is a place to exchange practical knowledge with others doing the work.
Come with a question, a challenge you're working through or an experience worth sharing.
You don't need to have all the answers. The value of this community comes from learning from one another.
