Executive AI Value Creation Summit
Join executives, investors, technology leaders, and customers to explore how AI, cloud, and data are driving measurable business value through real-world implementation and customer success stories.
Join the leaders shaping AI value creation.
Following the success of our first AI Value Creation Summit, which brought together more than 250 executives, OMMAX and AWS are bringing together a highly curated group of senior executives, investors, Operating Partners, technology leaders, and customers for the next edition.
What actually works at scale?
The enterprise AI conversation has moved beyond experimentation. The question now is where leaders are investing, which use cases are delivering measurable returns, how they are driving adoption, and which data and technology foundations are proving critical.
Much of this knowledge never makes it into reports or conference presentations. At the AI Value Creation Summit, you'll hear directly from executives putting AI into practice and translating innovation into measurable business and P&L impact.
On October 28, we're bringing these perspectives into one room.
