About the event

AI is no longer about if, it’s about how. And while the technology is advancing fast, the real work for executives lies in building the leadership alignment, governance, and organizational readiness to scale AI responsibly. 

RapidScale’s AI Strategy Experience, developed in collaboration with AWS, brings together business and IT leaders for a curated, in‑person session focused on clarity, candor, and actionable insight. 

We begin by breaking down the architectural and strategic decisions behind enterprise AI adoption, equipping leaders to ask better questions, guide executive strategy, and shape AI programs that endure. The event concludes with a fireside roundtable featuring Jeff Holmes, offering a rare, first‑hand look at AI transformation from the CEO perspective.
