โก Business Intelligence is at a turning point. As AI moves from buzzword to daily reality, the tools, workflows, and even the role of the analyst are being redefined. Join us for an evening exploring what this shift really means - from how analysts can stay indispensable as AI reshapes their craft, to what a truly AI-native approach to BI looks like beyond traditional dashboards. Weโll hear from two practitioners building these systems at scale.
