AI-Fueled Transformation: The 2026 Capstone and the Road to 2027

 

Join us for an intimate discussion with George Westerman on the latest research and insights from his work at MIT and beyond, paired with the off-the-record candor that only the CIO Roundtable delivers. George is actively developing his next body of research, which makes this a true two-way exchange: we’ll get an early look at where his thinking is headed, and our experiences in the room will help shape it. As we close out a defining year for AI, we’ll look at what’s really driving transformation, what’s getting in the way, and where things are heading. You’ll leave with your finger on the pulse and practical takeaways to lead with confidence into 2027.

 

We’re planning a capstone session that looks back on 2026 and ahead to 2027 through the lens of the CIO: what we learned about leading AI this year, what’s changed, and what leaders should prepare for next. Lecture + Interactive discussion.

 

Dinner will be catered on-site at the Alexandria Center for Life Sciences Speakeasy
