This month’s theme is: Positioning Workflows to Gain LLM Support

Organizations today struggle to effectively integrate advanced technologies like AI, machine learning, cloud computing, and cybersecurity into their operations, resulting in inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

Operational staff often lack the training to apply AI to real-world scenarios such as supply chain management, while leadership needs frameworks for incorporating AI into business processes for predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, and inventory optimization. The continuous threat of cyber-attacks demands a united defense strategy. Our event addresses these challenges by providing targeted training and certification, offering leadership strategies, fostering a collaborative professional community, and promoting robust cyber defense collaboration.

UNCOMNConnect’s attendees will have the change to showcase their expertise and innovative solutions to a targeted audience, gaining valuable exposure and engagement with industry professionals. Networking with industry leaders and peers will foster collaborations that can lead to new business ventures and partnerships. Your company can position yourselves as thought leaders by contributing to discussions, leading workshops, and sharing success stories. Your corporation can stay ahead of today’s current technological trends, gather insights into market needs, and enhance your strategic planning to address emerging challenges within the space.
