As AI becomes embedded in core business processes\, enterprises are facing new challenges around scale\, governance\, and infrastructure readiness. Many organizations are discovering that operationalizing AI requires more than powerful models and data. It also requires the right infrastructure\, platforms\, and organizational alignment to support AI reliably across the enterprise. During this peer-driven discussion\, senior leaders across IT infrastructure\, cloud\, architecture\, data\, and AI will share perspectives on how their organizations are enabling scalable and secure AI adoption across data center\, cloud\, and edge environments. The conversation will also touch on AI Factory solutions co-developed with NVIDIA\, which are a part of the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio. Join fellow enterprise technology leaders for an evening of peer learning\, meaningful networking\, and a private dinner and wine tasting in an intimate setting at one of the city’s top restaurants.  								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Discussion Topics				\n				\n				\n				\n									Modernizing AI Infrastructure Without Owning It – Such as HPE Private Cloud AI\, co-developed with NVIDIA as part of the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio.How Organizations are Deploying Modern AI Infrastructure Platforms – That simplify deployment and accelerate AI initiatives.Moving AI from Pilot to Production – Lessons learned from enterprises working to operationalize AI while balancing speed\, scalability\, and reliability.Overcoming Data Gravity and Enabling AI at the Edge – Strategies for bringing AI closer to where data lives across data centers\, edge environments\, and hybrid cloud architectures.Balancing Innovation with Governance in an AI-Driven Enterprise – How organizations are enabling rapid AI experimentation while maintaining security\, compliance\, and responsible data governance.Building an AI-Ready Organization – How collaboration between infrastructure\, data\, and AI teams is evolving to support enterprise-scale AI initiatives.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n					\n			\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n						\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Agenda (in CT)				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n  5:30 Registration and Networking Reception \n  6:00 Welcome Remarks \n  6:05 Wine Tasting \n  6:25 Introductory Presentation and First Course \n  6:45 Moderated Industry Panel\, Q/A\, Dinner \n   7:45 Dessert\, and Coffee \n   8:00 Event Concludes \n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n									5:30 Registration & Networking Reception 6:00 Welcome Remarks 6:05 Wine Tasting 6:25 Introductory Presentation and First Course 6:45 Moderated Industry Panel\, Q/A\, Dinner 7:45 Dessert\, and Coffee 8:00 Event Concludes 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Who's Attending				\n				\n				\n				\n									An invitation-only group of enterprise technology\, infrastructure\, data science\, ML/AI\, and innovation leaders from major companies in the Chicago metro area. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					Objectives				\n				\n				\n				\n									Gain actionable insights from industry experts on how to operationalize AI across the enterprise.Exchange ideas with peers facing similar challenges and uncover innovative solutions.Enjoy an exquisite\, private dining experience that sets the stage for meaningful networking and collaboration.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n					\n			\n	\n		\n					\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					About the Venue				\n				\n				\n				\n					Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse\, Chicago				\n				\n				\n				\n									33 W Kinzie St\, Chicago\, IL 60654 Named “Best Steakhouse in Chicago” by the Chicago Tribune Dining Poll\, Best of Citysearch Poll and Metromix on CLTV\, Harry Caray’s serves the finest prime\, aged steaks\, chops and Italian favorites.
