From hype to industrialization: A look at data & AI in 2026
AI is growing up—and so must we.
By 2026, the winners won’t be the companies with the flashiest chatbots, but those that industrialize AI to deliver measurable business value.
This webinar cuts through the hype to explore what it really takes to scale AI: strong data foundations, agent-ready architectures, governance that’s embedded (not forgotten in PDFs), and outcome-driven execution tied to KPIs.
We’ll unpack the trends shaping data & AI in 2026, the uncomfortable challenges most organizations avoid, and a practical roadmap to quickly move from experimentation to production.
