The Analytics+ Expert Workshop (formerly the Executive Forum) brings together analytics and AI leaders from across industries—including directors, VPs, and enterprise decision-makers responsible for scaling analytics and AI initiatives.

Held before the main conference program begins, this interactive session provides a rare opportunity to exchange perspectives with peers facing similar leadership challenges in deploying analytics and AI at scale.

This year’s workshop focuses on a challenge many organizations are facing today:

How do leaders move from AI experimentation to trusted, enterprise-scale impact?

While many organizations have launched AI initiatives, far fewer have successfully scaled them across the enterprise. Leaders continue to navigate difficult questions around investment prioritization, governance, adoption, and trust in analytical systems.

The Expert Workshop brings together experienced practitioners to share lessons learned from deploying analytics and AI in real-world environments—from commercial organizations to highly regulated industries.

Workshop Format

Rather than a traditional panel session, the Expert Workshop is designed as a facilitated working session that combines expert perspectives with peer discussion.

Executive Panel Framing

A short panel discussion featuring leaders responsible for deploying analytics and AI at scale across different industries and organizational contexts.

Structured Table Discussions

Participants will engage in moderated discussions at their tables, exploring common challenges such as:

  • Scaling analytics and AI beyond pilot projects
  • Building governance frameworks that enable both speed and trust
  • Maintaining credibility in analytics and AI systems
  • Linking analytics initiatives directly to business outcomes

Panelists will circulate among the tables to contribute perspectives and answer questions.

Synthesis and Leadership Takeaways

The session concludes with a panel synthesis highlighting the most important insights and practical leadership moves emerging from the discussion.
