Preparing for AI's Future: Use Case Exchanges

A peer-led format built around shared experience. Each team brings live cases of how their organisation is preparing for the future of AI, surfacing the concerns, the unknowns and the practical responses that are starting to take shape. The exchange treats these challenges as something the community can work through together by trading use cases, comparing approaches and learning from one another's best practice.
