Beyond the Hype: A CIO's Take on AI Strategy

Please see important Registration note below.

Everyone is talking about AI. Fewer people are talking honestly about it.

On Thursday 20 August we're bringing Billy Martin, Chief Information Officer at HIF Australia, in for a fireside chat with Lane8 co-founder Muthu Murugesan.

Not a vendor pitch. Not a lab demo. A CIO building this capability inside a real, regulated business, talking straight about where it delivers, where it stalls, and what leaders should actually do about it.

What we'll get into:

- Where AI really sits today, past the headlines and the hype
- What separates genuine capability from theatre inside an organisation
- Building AI and agentic capability in a real business, not a lab
- Trust, governance and risk when you're working with sensitive data and a regulator watching
- What this shift means for strategy, delivery, and the teams doing the work
- What CIOs look for from BAs and delivery people on AI work, and what will not cut it
- Honest calls on what comes next, and what to tune out

35 minutes with Billy, then 25 minutes of open Q&A. Come with questions.

Please Note - Registration is managed on Luma. A Meetup RSVP does not reserve a place or register you for this event.
