Panel: Practical Approaches to Evaluate AI Use Cases
Tuesday April 22, 2025 2:30pm - 3:00pm EDT
Pitch Perfect-Board Room Stage 4 (Off of the Main stage)
Not every team needs an AI strategy right now — and that’s okay. In this honest conversation, we’ll explore how to evaluate whether AI is actually the right fit for your business, your product, or your problem. We’ll talk about the pressure to adopt AI just to “keep up,” how to push back on hype, and what smart, intentional adoption really looks like. If you're feeling FOMO but not sure where AI truly fits, this session is for you.
