AI pilots are easy to launch. Turning them into measurable enterprise value is where the real work begins.

As organizations move from experimentation to execution, technology leaders face a critical challenge: aligning AI investments, engineering priorities, governance, and resources around the initiatives that can deliver meaningful business impact. The next competitive advantage won’t come from simply adopting AI, but from building the operational foundation to scale it.

Discover how Shobha Kanherkar, Director of AI Enablement and Engineering Excellence, Carelon Services at Elevance Health, approaches this challenge in her session, “Building the Enterprise of Tomorrow: Modernization, AI & Operational Agility.” The discussion will explore practical strategies for moving AI beyond isolated pilots and into scalable, measurable enterprise impact.

Expect sharp perspectives on prioritizing high-value AI initiatives, modernizing technology environments, strengthening governance, and creating the operational agility required to turn emerging technologies into lasting business outcomes.

As the #1 leader in short-format technology events, TechTalk Summits facilitates conversations that matter. In an intimate executive setting, decision-makers connect directly with technology leaders and solution providers, exchange battle-tested insights, get their toughest questions answered, and build valuable peer relationships over premium dining.
