01 | AI FOMO: What’s Real, What’s Hype, and What IT Should Do Next

AI is moving quickly, but not every organization needs to chase every model, platform, or announcement. This session establishes a practical view of today’s enterprise AI market. We will examine what has materially changed, where organizations are moving from experimentation into production, and the questions IT teams should answer before committing budget or infrastructure.

  • The current enterprise AI landscape
  • Generative AI, predictive AI, machine learning, and agentic systems
  • Public AI services, private AI, hybrid architectures, and on-premises options
  • Why data gravity, privacy, latency, cost, and governance affect deployment
  • Common causes of stalled pilots
  • Questions IT leaders should ask before buying infrastructure or service

  • A clearer vocabulary for discussing enterprise AI
  • A practical way to separate urgency from hype
  • A readiness checklist for their own organization
  • A framework for identifying the next sensible step

02 | From Use Case to AI Factory: How Enterprise AI Solutions Are Built

A useful AI strategy starts with a business problem, not a GPU purchase. This session explores the use cases organizations are pursuing and the architecture required to support them. We will distinguish training, fine-tuning, retrieval, and inference, then map each workload to its data, compute, software, security, and operational requirements.

  • Common enterprise use-case categories
  • Knowledge assistants and retrieval-augmented generation
  • Document intelligence and content processing
  • Software development assistance
  • Contact center and employee productivity applications
  • Visual inspection, forecasting, and traditional machine learning
  • Model training versus fine-tuning versus inference
  • Retrieval-augmented generation versus changing the model
  • Public cloud, hosted models, private cloud, and on-premises architectures
  • The components of an enterprise AI factory
  • Security, governance, observability, and lifecycle management

  • A method for classifying AI workloads
  • A clearer understanding of training and inference
  • A reference architecture for an enterprise AI solution
  • A better way to match use cases to deployment models

03 | Measuring AI: Performance, Efficiency, Cost, and Business Value

AI introduces a new set of technical metrics, but technical performance alone does not establish business value. This session explains the measurements behind AI infrastructure and shows how to translate them into the language of user experience, capacity, cost, risk, and return.

  • Tokens and context windows
  • Tokens per second
  • Time to first token
  • Inter-token latency
  • Throughput versus individual-user responsiveness
  • Concurrent users and request rates
  • Accuracy, quality, and workload-specific evaluations
  • GPU utilization and memory constraints
  • Tokens per watt and performance per watt
  • Cost per request, cost per token, and cost per successful outcome
  • Capacity planning for enterprise AI
  • Translating infrastructure metrics into business outcomes

  • A working understanding of common AI performance metrics
  • A framework for comparing platforms and deployment options
  • Questions to ask vendors during benchmarks or proofs of concept
  • A way to explain AI investments to finance and business leadership
