I attended TechTalk's IDC Dinner at STK in Atlanta, GA on April 24. The speakers were very
informative. It was great to hear that many of us in the same industries are aligned with
many of the same interests and integration (Al) in and on our company platforms. I met
some great people which allowed me to make some great connections. Thank you so much
for the invitation. I hope I am invited to future events.

TechTalk Summits DC CxO Dinner was a huge success with Dan Moriarty at the helm! The topics, the speakers, the attendees, the sponsors, the networking, and the dinner venue (Mastro's Steakhouse) all on point! Don’t miss the next event!

I had a wonderful time at the TechTalk event in Houston on Tuesday. I am looking forward to attending future events and engaging with so many wonderful people. Thank you again for the invite. 

I had the privilege of participating in an insightful discussion at 'The Future of Technology Leadership,' hosted by TechTalk Summits. This dynamic event centered on the pivotal role of technology leadership in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, delving into the convergence of crucial trends: the digitization of business processes, the imperative for digital leadership within organizations, and the burgeoning significance of AI as a business imperative.

It was an exceptional opportunity to engage with executives representing diverse industries, all sharing a common drive for digital transformation. The discussions offered valuable insights into operational strategies embracing machine learning, fortifying cloud capabilities, data management, and the imperative of C-suite involvement in technology integration.

Connecting with industry innovators and sponsors spearheading digital transformation initiatives was truly enriching. The exchange of specific information and networking opportunities not only broadened perspectives but also reinforced the significance of an agile technology strategy in gaining a competitive edge.

Special thanks to the organizers (TechTalk Summits) and sponsors (Zerto & UST) for facilitating an environment conducive to learning and networking. Looking forward to applying these insights in our ongoing digital transformation journey.

We had a great time at the IDC Dinner in Cincinnati, and the room was packed. I am glad I got to go. 

Big thank you to TechTalk Summits, sponsors/presenters IDC, Juniper Networks, and Chazey Partners - A QX Global Group Company, and all of the speakers for an informative high-level look at early impacts to business delivered by AI, and especially generative AI (GAI), in today's TechTalk Summit Austin - AI Impact presentation!

Interesting to see that there is coalescing agreement on ideas around how implementations should look (given the state of generative AI as of this time). 
Largely the phases/steps/components are: (my oversimplification of presenters advocations)

1) Experimentation
2) Policy development
3) Change management (controlled implementation)
4) Relationship management with vendors/providers/suppliers
5) Impact management (re-skilling of employees, changes in hiring structure etc)

Risk management is also a key issue, as with all new, early technologies, including corporate data leakage, confidentiality with vendors, AI "screwups" (hallucinations, etc), unintended impacts, and legal ramifications.

One area that is unsurprisingly still hazy is "when" -- when is the right time to jump in? As with cloud, GAI is in nascent stages of its modern iterations, and early adopters risk the technologies (or things like regulatory requirements) changing in a way that damages the implementation. Those that wait too long could suffer opportunity cost losses, and/or fall behind competitors who find the porridge that is just the right temperature.

Thoughtful material for a Tuesday afternoon -- thanks to everyone involved!
