Our in-person event will be headlined by Zack Kass, former head of Go to Market for OpenAI. OpenAI is a research and development company whose mission is to ensure that artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We look forward to welcoming Zack to campus in April.
In addition to the in-person keynote, this year’s program will feature extraordinary local, regional, and national speakers delivering practical advice, best practice thinking, and pearls of wisdom over five virtual sessions, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. via Zoom during the week of April 22. We have an all-star line-up of thought leaders who come from the for-profit and not-for-profit worlds and represent start-up ventures, academics, consulting, and corporations of all sizes. Central to this year’s program are top-of-mind topics, such as: the impact of AI on leadership thinking, the uses and benefits of AI to business and management, the role AI plays in strategy, and the ways AI will shape how we lead.
Zack Kass stands out as one of the brightest minds in AI today, with a robust 14-year journey at the epicenter of technological evolution. His significant tenure as Head of Go To Market at OpenAI put him front and center building AI strategies with many of the biggest companies in the world. His role in converting state-of-the-art research into real-world business applications has positioned him as one the the foremost thinkers in Applied AI.
