What to look forward to
The Apsara Conference’s European debut will bring enterprise leaders and AI builders together to explore agentic systems, multimodal AI in creative industries, growth in China, and AI’s impact on sport. Speakers will include senior leaders from Alibaba Cloud and Salesforce, alongside executives and technical experts from Hugging Face, JetBrains, Atos, and innovative AI companies.
Inside the event
There's a moment every enterprise hits when AI stops being AI has moved from interesting to necessary. Expect CEOs who put AI on the board agenda last quarter, CTOs accountable for delivery, and CIOs/CFOs who need it to show up in this year's numbers, not next year's deck.
That's what this closed-door forum is about — as Apsara Conference makes its European debut.
