AGENDA

Discovering The AI Mindset with Conor Grennan

If you think you’re getting the most out of ChatGPT—or even really know ChatGPT—think again. Despite all you’ve read and seen, this isn’t a search engine on steroids or even a “smart computer intern.” And it isn’t just about better “prompt engineering.” This is something completely new that defies easy metaphors. Getting the most out of the generative AI revolution, no matter what field you’re in, requires a reframed way of thinking about technology that’s unlike anything that has come before.

Live Practitioner Session With Glenn Hopper

A chief financial officer with two decades of experience leading finance operations for private equity-backed companies, Glenn is a nationally-recognized expert on finance automation, operational efficiency and margin improvements. Having spent his professional career coupling financial leadership and technical expertise to optimize operations and promote innovation and modernization within companies, he’s now become a pioneer in the uses of AI to safely increase productivity in the finance function, and he’ll share what he’s learning from his work.

Q&A and Best Ideas Exchange

Like all Chief Executive Group programs, we encourage an interactive and collaborative environment. Engage with a diverse audience of your peers from across various industries and contribute your own best ideas for utilizing generative AI within your functional area. Learn from others, gain inspiration, and foster a community of forward-thinking professionals.
