AI Conference (in partnership with GWSCPA)

As a finance leader, you know that AI can create efficiencies for your organization, but mitigation of risk is also top of mind. This conference will take us beyond discussions about what artificial intelligence *could* do for us, to provide practical sessions that will apply to finance teams in any industry --and those in CPA firms-- and a venue to talk through the nuances of this exciting time with your peers.   Maybe you’re still working to convince staff and governance to shift to a 21st-century mindset, or you need some firsthand feedback on various platforms and products. As teams jump in, you need guidance on how to craft policies to protect your organization. And once you’re moving toward implementing new technologies, you need to know how to stay on top of the next developments and opportunities/threats to future-proof your organization too.
