What Will You Get Out Of This Event?

Panel Discussion #1:

AI Changes the Game. Cybersecurity Determines Who Wins.

AI is rapidly transforming how businesses operate—but it’s also redefining risk, liability, and accountability. In this expert-led open discussion, a cyber attorney, cyber insurance risk specialist, cybersecurity leader, and compliance expert break down how AI is reshaping the threat landscape, regulatory expectations, and insurability in 2026 and beyond.

This session will help business leaders understand what’s changing, where organizations are most exposed, and how aligning AI innovation with cybersecurity and compliance is now essential to protecting trust, operations, and enterprise value.

Panel Discussion #2:

AI in The Real World: Beyond the Hype

AI is no longer experimental—it’s part of everyday work. In this practical, real-world discussion, three AI practitioners share how they’re using AI agents to streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and drive measurable business growth.

Beyond the wins, this panel will explore the realities leaders need to understand before adopting AI at scale—including where AI can introduce risk, how deepfakes and misinformation are evolving, and why responsible use matters just as much as innovation. Attendees will leave with a grounded, honest perspective on what it really looks like to use AI in day-to-day business operations.

Panel Discussion #3:

The Valuation Multiplier: Building Value Beyond Revenue With AI and Cyber

AI and cybersecurity are no longer just IT concerns—they are critical drivers of company valuation, buyer confidence, and exit readiness. In this executive-level discussion, a mergers and acquisitions advisor, business coach, and Zog’s CEO unpack how the right AI strategy and strong cybersecurity posture can directly impact revenue, operational efficiency, risk exposure, and deal outcomes.

This session will explore what buyers, investors, and private equity firms look for today, how technology maturity influences valuation multiples, and why companies that treat AI and cybersecurity as strategic assets—not expenses—are better positioned to scale, sell, or transition leadership.

Session #4: Live Demo

AI Readiness — A Live Copilot Demo

AI is the natural next evolution of business technology. But without the right guardrails, it can introduce serious risk.

In this live demonstration, we’ll show how AI tools like Copilot are being used inside organizations today — with real examples involving payroll, customer data, and internal workflows. You’ll see the difference between AI implemented poorly (exposed HR information, data leakage, reputation damage) and AI implemented correctly with proper permissions, governance, and security controls.

We’ll also address the growing risk of employees using free AI tools without company guidelines.

If AI is already showing up inside your organization — this session will show you what leaders must put in place before it’s too late.
