Allen County Leaders Luncheon - "Generative AI: Insights and Strategies for Business Leaders"

Allen County Leaders Luncheons are an exclusive series for GFW Inc. members designed to inspire and educate with keynote speakers chosen for their relevancy to you and our community. 

Join us for our September event focused on Generative AI, a transformative technology that presents enormous opportunities to revolutionize your business... but it also presents an immense challenge. The path to successful adoption can feel overwhelming, and let's face it... everyone is blazing their own trail with no real guidance. 

This interactive workshop has been designed for business leaders, by business leaders, to help you gain an understanding of Generative AI and its potential impact, no matter where you may be on your AI adoption journey. Through a blend of expert insights, activities, and real-world case studies, we'll focus on how to strategically leverage AI to drive productivity, innovation, and sustainable growth while also navigating the associated challenges and risks.  Participants will receive frameworks and other takeaways, including actionable steps that can be immediately applied in their own organizations.

• The fundamentals of Generative AI and its transformative potential
