AI Maturity Check with a live board: take the check at stand 801 and see where your organisation sits on shared platform, reusable assets, embedded capability and community. Your answers join a live board, updated throughout both days, showing where participating organisations stand and which layer holds the others back. Every participant receives the final results by email after the summit. Competition: complete the check to enter and win an AI Maturity Review of your own setup, half a day with Adamatics on what your teams have built with AI, what can be shared, trusted and maintained, and a written plan you keep. Open to organisations with in-house teams building analytics or AI applications. Winner drawn Thursday 5 November at 15:00 and notified by email. Straight from the stage: on Wednesday 4 November at 11:15, following our AI track talk (10:30, Sal 5), a 15-minute walkthrough at stand 801 of why your twentieth AI application should be cheaper than your fifth. Walkthroughs on request both days. Giveaway: the four-layer AI Maturity Matrix in print and the whitepaper behind it, free while stocks last.

AI Maturity Check with a live board: take the check at stand 801 and see where your organisation sits on shared platform, reusable assets, embedded capability and community. Your answers join a live board, updated throughout both days, showing where participating organisations stand and which layer holds the others back. Every participant receives the final results by email after the summit. Competition: complete the check to enter and win an AI Maturity Review of your own setup, half a day with Adamatics on what your teams have built with AI, what can be shared, trusted and maintained, and a written plan you keep. Open to organisations with in-house teams building analytics or AI applications. Winner drawn Thursday 5 November at 15:00 and notified by email. Straight from the stage: on Wednesday 4 November at 11:15, following our AI track talk (10:30, Sal 5), a 15-minute walkthrough at stand 801 of why your twentieth AI application should be cheaper than your fifth. Walkthroughs on request both days. Giveaway: the four-layer AI Maturity Matrix in print and the whitepaper behind it, free while stocks last.
