How are companies actually adopting AI today?
This informal IEEE networking session is designed for engineers, researchers, and industry practitioners to share real-world experiences around AI adoption — what’s working, what’s not, and where teams are facing challenges.
This is not a talk or presentation.
There are no slides — just a curated, peer-level discussion.
Topics may include:
– Where teams are in their AI adoption journey (experimentation → production)
– Use of LLMs and AI systems in real-world workflows
– Challenges in scaling AI beyond prototypes
– Measuring impact and ROI
– Build vs. buy decisions
The session is intentionally kept small to enable meaningful interaction.
Format
– Short introductions (name, role, current AI focus)
– Open discussion guided by participant experiences
– Informal networking
