AI dominates today’s headlines, but how do leaders cut through the noise to capture real business value?

Join us for an energizing breakfast conversation with Russ Abdrakhmanov, Founding Leader, NEKEY. Russ is a technology leader, AI and cybersecurity strategist, and dynamic speaker who will separate fact from fiction and share practical strategies for preparing your business for AI transformation.

Russ brings together physics, economics, and software engineering with more than 15 years of leadership in business technology. He’ll explain why AI is not a quick fix. If your processes are broken, AI will only amplify the problems. He’ll show how to get the fundamentals right—data, access, and workflows—so you can unlock real results.

Get ready for a clear, actionable discussion on AI adoption and leading with confidence in a tech-driven world.
