                                    AI has dominated headlines and boardroom conversations, but for most companies, the path from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption remains elusive. Some leaders are already realizing ROI through optimized supply chains, sharper demand forecasts and more personalized customer engagement, while others are still stuck in pilot mode. In this session, retailers and manufacturers who have successfully scaled AI to deliver measurable business value will share insight on what it takes to move beyond proofs of concept and key pitfalls to avoid.
