Creating business value with AI fundamentals
Discover the real-world value of AI, with Lenovo, Intel®, Microsoft, and Econocom.
Across every sector, AI adoption has been at the top of everyone's agenda. Organisations see opportunities to transform operations, accelerate decision-making, and unlock new business models through data-driven intelligence.
The complexities of modern environments - where infrastructure, data strategy, and device estates must operate as one - make ambitious projects challenging to deliver. Even those making strong progress discover that a well-defined use case at the centre of their strategy is essential for AI to achieve the transformative impact they expect.
That’s why Lenovo, Intel®, Microsoft, and Econocom are bringing together experts for an exclusive roundtable designed to share proven approaches and practical examples of AI in action.
During the event, you’ll gain insights from specialists in devices, infrastructure, and data strategy, including the Econocom team, who combine this expertise with the ability to design, deliver, and support end-to-end AI solutions.
Hosted at The Ivy, Tower Bridge, London, the roundtable pairs thought-provoking discussion with a three-course dining experience. This unique setting is designed to spark conversation, connect peers, and inspire strategies that turn AI potential into real business impact.
Together, we’ll explore how to build the integrated foundations needed for lasting AI success and leave you with ideas ready to put into practice within your own organisation.
