AI In Action: A Hands-On Board Workshop

In Person  |  Sept. 29  |  Workshop 1:00 - 4:30 PM  |  Reception 4:30 - 5:30 PM  |  Houston, TX

Directors who attend our AI in Action workshop will gain practical insight into how artificial intelligence is reshaping strategy, oversight, and value creation at the board level. Through peer benchmarking, real-world examples, and candid discussion, participants will examine how boards can evaluate AI investments, measure impact, and strengthen governance while balancing opportunity with risk.

This interactive session challenges directors to move beyond high-level awareness and engage with the real trade-offs AI presents—from assessing return on investment and competitive positioning to clarifying accountability and managing evolving risk exposure. Through scenario-based exercises and facilitated dialogue, attendees explore how boards can guide management through AI-related inflection points with clarity and confidence.

By the close of the session, directors leave with sharper decision lenses, a stronger framework for evaluating AI strategy and governance, and actionable questions to bring back to their boardrooms.
