The Hard Truth about AI Adoption

Most companies say they want AI. But behind the scenes? Fear, confusion, and a whole lot of "wait and see."

Join us and author Brett Schklar for a raw discussion based on his conversations with 1,200+ CEOs and leadership teams. No hype. No AI-washing. Just what it really takes to build AI-powered products that actual businesses will adopt.

We'll cover:

• What business buyers really want from AI (spoiler: not "GPT-powered chatbots")
• The fears that kill AI initiatives before they start
• How to position your product to cut through the noise

Why this matters: We've spent the year covering AI's impact on Product Management, but this month we're stepping outside our "bleeding edge" bubble. Brett's been talking to CEOs running real companies—manufacturing, services, traditional businesses that aren't necessarily tech-first. This is your chance to hone your PM chops and hear from the real world, where things don't happen at the speed of "everything is possible" but at the speed of "does this make sense."

Brett just launched his book, AI Without the BS: The CEO's Playbook for Actually Getting AI Right, and believes AI doesn't need to be overwhelming—if you lead with the right playbook.

So what's in this playbook? Come learn with us.

As always there will be coffee, treats and a chance to network with fellow product leaders who are navigating this same shift!
