An English-language executive roundtable event for senior IT decision makers

Just over three years after the initial release of ChatGPT, enterprise organisations are entering a more demanding phase of their generative AI (GenAI) journeys. While pilots and proofs of concept are now commonplace, CIOs and CTOs face increasing pressure to scale these initiatives across the enterprise — delivering measurable value while ensuring deployments are secure, resilient, and sustainable over time. In practice, many AI programmes remain constrained to specific teams or use cases, highlighting the complexity of moving from experimentation to production at scale.

How can technology leaders overcome the architectural, operational, and organisational challenges of enterprise AI adoption? How should expectations be recalibrated as AI moves from innovation agendas into core IT and business infrastructure? And what does it take to re-energise initiatives that have lost momentum?

These are the questions explored in a new series of Tech Monitor executive roundtables, delivered in association with AMD. Each session will bring together CIOs, CTOs, and senior technology leaders to share practical experiences, lessons learned, and emerging best practice. Discussions will span both strategy and execution, with a deep dive into the compute, data, and software considerations that shape successful AI adoption.

The roundtables will examine the evolving enterprise AI stack, including GenAI and emerging Agentic AI approaches, as well as the role of AI-capable PCs. We will explore how AI PCs can support enterprise requirements, where they add value today, and whether their adoption should be limited to specialist roles or extended more broadly across the organisation.

Among the topics we’ll discuss:

* Scaling AI and GenAI initiatives from pilot to production

* Demonstrating and measuring business value from AI investments

* Designing AI architectures that are secure, resilient, and future-ready

* The role of AI PCs within the enterprise AI ecosystem

* Understanding Agentic AI and its practical implications

* Expanding and balancing compute capacity

* Managing AI workloads across on-premise and cloud environments

* Making informed choices of CPUs and GPUs

* Addressing data privacy, sovereignty, and operational resilience

As with all Tech Monitor / AMD roundtables, the focus will be on open, informed discussion among peers and subject-matter experts. We invite you to join us for an evening of candid conversation and shared learning.
