2024 Spring SME Forum – Delivering Actual Intelligence: Pursuing Business Value

Location:  Charlotte, NC

Registration Is Closed (5/7/2024)

We are kicking off a multi-forum topic that will we will pursue into 2025.  While we don’t want to make it about “Artificial Intelligence”, unlike at our April 2023 Forum in Scottsdale, there was a significant change in receptiveness from the membership to explore AI (and we will use this term VERY broadly to be as inclusive and thoughtful about the domain) in November.  So we are going to build programming that infuses, takes into consideration and deliberates HOW artificial intelligence can be effectively applied to our businesses in practical and realistic ways.  This, of course, will supplement our many staple topics that broadly include Marketing, Distribution, Institutional, Data, Services and Subscriptions, etc.

As we concluded in November at The Forum, “AI will be a topic and feature of almost every conversation we have going forward just as data has become so ubiquitous.  BUT, it is never really about the data or AI, we are always working to ensure that we keep our eye on the ball which is HOW does data (and now increasingly AI) play into our efforts to deliver business value and address our various business goals and objectives.

Hotel reservations are now available at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown at our SME Forum group rate.  Forum is all day Tuesday and Wednesday with the Leadership Council meeting on Thursday morning.  Most arrive on Monday but we encourage you to arrive earlier and enjoy Charlotte as well.
