The PTF AI Summit:
Train. Hire. Transform


Your AI model's ROI comes down to the humans behind it: the ones training it, the ones you hire to build it, and the ones who get it past the pilot stage.

This three hour summit is built around getting all three right, with sessions covering the deployment gap between data and results, the disconnect in how most companies search for AI talent, and what it actually takes to scale AI work beyond a proof of concept. Join us for real talk and real strategies from people doing this work now.

That means bringing in experts with varied backgrounds, industries, and lived experiences, because that breadth is what produces outputs that reflect the world your customers actually live in. In this deep dive, we’ll talk about what it takes to train, evaluate, and operationalize AI models that people can truly trust.

The Hiring Gap: Why Most Companies Are Looking for AI Talent in All the Wrong Places

Finding great AI talent isn’t just about technical skills anymore, and the companies figuring that out are moving faster than everyone else. They’re looking for people who already understand their industry and can bring real-world context. Join us to learn what smarter sourcing looks like these days and why representative talent pipelines consistently produce stronger AI teams.

Beyond the Pilot:
How to Lead an AI Transformation That Sticks
 

Most AI initiatives don’t fail because of the technology. They fail because companies underestimate how much the right people, in the right roles, with the right implementation support around them, actually matter. In this session, leaders from across industries will share what separates organizations that scale AI successfully from those that don’t, including real examples of transformations that built lasting internal capability and left teams confident enough to own the work themselves.
