From Pilots to Production: What It Really Takes to Scale AI

November 13

Join leaders who are deploying AI at scale across clinical research, government healthcare, and public sector technology. This panel goes beyond theory to share real results: 50% productivity gains in software development, 300,000+ automated decisions in Medicare processing, and frameworks for measuring AI's business impact. You'll hear how organizations are moving from basic automation to multi-agent workflows, why hiring criteria are shifting from coding skills to strategic thinking, and how to balance innovation with safety in regulated industries.

What we'll cover:

Real metrics and KPIs that prove AI's value
Moving from assistive AI tools to agentic workflows
How AI is changing what you hire for and how you measure performance
Deploying AI safely in regulated environments
Building AI capabilities internally while creating AI-powered products
