C-Level Strategy Forum

"AI" Strategy Forum: Beyond the Hype

Pfäffikon SZ

Exchange about AI at executive level

Following the success of 2023, C-Level invites you to the second special edition of the "AI" Strategy Forum, which is dedicated to the topic "Beyond the Hype". We expect around 180 executives from our community as well as a carefully selected group of Swiss AI start-ups and SMEs.

The title says it all: instead of abstract and superficial conversations about AI, we want to bring concrete, practice-oriented strategies and use cases to the stage. The whole thing will be spiced up with application examples from leading companies and promising AI start-ups.
