1:40 PM Workshop: Not The Main Priority: Balancing AI Investments With Budget And Business Goals

Everyone wants to invest in AI, but not every company has a billion-dollar budget to support huge tech investments. For growing organizations, the challenge isn't just choosing the right tools, it's building a strong business case for why AI should be funded alongside other competing priorities. This session will explore how to identify the right opportunities (agentic & generative AI capabilities), scale AI adoption to fit your organization's growth stage, and prove that these investments can deliver value without breaking the bank. 

Key takeaways:  
  • Building a compelling business case for agentic or generative AI investments that meets your company's business needs 
  • Identifying tools that will deliver value on limited budgets 
  • Securing stakeholder support to gain executive approval on AI initiatives
