Cosmic Conversations are deep dive interactive sessions with the CCE community.  Speakers will provide a 2-minute introduction, and the moderators will actively direct the conversation to panelists and the audience for a deep dive. 

Successful AI projects blend data strategy, outcomes-based approaches, and cultural transformation to achieve AI success. The goal of Agentic AI is to automate decision-making and enhance intelligence.  Organizations that thrive understand that the outcome is not more automation but identifying where and when to insert a human.  As the last generation to manage only humans, these organizations build a cultural DNA that achieves machine-scale with human ingenuity.   Hear from the leaders successfully driving AI in the boardroom and in the executive suite.
