Operationalizing Generative AI: Executive Insights and Applications
9am – 5pm
As a leader in your business, you know that generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries and reshaping the competitive landscape — is your organization prepared to adapt?
Large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing AI (Sydney), Google’s Bard, and Meta’s LLaMA are at the forefront of the generative AI revolution, and the accessibility of these tools presents both tremendous challenges and opportunities for every industry.
AI enables organizations like yours to automate processes, support decision-making with data-driven insights, and improve client and employee experiences. But without a solid understanding of how this emerging technology functions, you may miss out on significant opportunities or fail to anticipate risks. Understanding the disruptive potential of generative AI could be instrumental in ensuring the future success of your business.
In this one-day, in-person program developed in partnership with the WATSPEED, University of Waterloo, you’ll learn everything you need to know about generative AI to position your organization strategically in this rapidly-evolving space. You’ll learn from unbiased experts in the field—no sales pitches, just the information you need to make informed investments in technology that could improve your organization’s efficiency, innovation, and growth.

From Numbers to Narrative: How to Tell Stories That Make Data Matter
6-7pm
Data is essential for crafting winning strategies and making impactful decisions. But without a compelling story, numbers alone fail to inspire action. Poor data communication can mislead, confuse, or even lead to disastrous business decisions. On the other hand, mastering the art of data-led storytelling can engage, inspire, and motivate your audience to take action.
In this session, we’ll explore what it means to be an effective data storyteller—one who transforms numbers into clear, impactful narratives that drive understanding and action.
You’ll learn the key principles of data storytelling, from designing clear and effective visualizations to avoiding common charting mistakes that distort insights. This session will share real-world examples of both great and poor data communication, breaking down what works—and what doesn’t. Whether you’re presenting insights in a spreadsheet, a dashboard, or a live meeting, this session will teach you practical techniques for crafting engaging, memorable, and trustworthy data-led stories that make an impact.
