Powered by the Enterprise Technology Association and a coalition of community partners, this weeklong celebration of AI in Central Ohio will bring together leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming business, government, and communities.
Here’s a look at what’s coming:
The Columbus AI Leadership Summit
Kicking off the Leadership Conference on September 10th at Waters Edge in Hilliard, the Columbus AI Summit will feature keynotes, expert panels, breakout sessions, and networking focused on AI strategy, governance, security, innovation, and more. This is the premier AI leadership event for Central Ohio.
AI for Business Summit
On September 11th, the AI for Business Summit will help leaders and teams put AI to work inside their organizations.
