About this session

AI investment keeps accelerating, but many organisations still ask how to turn AI ambition into tangible value. Softcat and Harvey Nash host an executive evening at Softcat's Manchester office on the realities of AI adoption, from readiness and governance to cost, risk and delivering real outcomes.

The evening centres on a screening of Harvey Nash's Techflix documentary, Mirage or Oasis: The Search for AI's Real Value, which looks at the challenges of moving from AI experimentation to real-world impact. A fireside conversation with technology leaders follows, covering AI value, readiness, governance and adoption in practice, then networking drinks with peers facing similar challenges.

It's hosted by a reseller and a recruitment and technology advisory firm, so expect some commercial context.

Who it’s for

Senior technology and business leaders working out how to get real, measurable value from AI.
