Predicting the Data and AI Revolution Dinner Event Series

Join us for an exclusive dinner series where we delve into the transformative role of AI in the enterprise. Aiven, in partnership with GatePoint Research, surveyed over one hundred C-level executives in our Predicting the Data and AI Revolution. What’s at stake? While many organizations are investing heavily in generative AI, less than 20% have moved beyond experimentation. The question is: how can you harness the power of AI to not only drive innovation but also safeguard your competitive edge amidst AI’s inherent risks? Our discussions will: Examine the evolving AI landscape: Explore the divide between industry leaders and laggards. Uncover Key Challenges: How to navigate data risks, ensure compliance, and maintain innovation while driving revenue. Debate critical AI choices: Open-source vs. off-the-shelf LLM’s – what’s the most secure path forward? How important is private and proprietary data in fueling your AI strategy? Leave with actionable insights on how to align your AI strategy with business goals, ensuring sustainable growth in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Attended the C-Vision International CISO Dinner last night and to sum it up in one word, "Wow!" Incredibly well moderated discussion and investigation into different viewpoints. I appreciate the openness of all the attendees to share their unique experiences and perspectives. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and look forward to further events like this!

Recently updated my "event vendors I will NEVER work with again" list, DM me if you're interested in the names and stories. On the other hand, I want to recommend Nelson Soares and C-Vision International who are true partners to our success, and I really enjoy working with. Happy to also share the great list of vendors we liked, as there are many of them, and we've recently had the pleasure of joining wonderful events, which we immediately renewed.

The day was awesome and the evening exceeded my wildest expectations. I've never been to a dinner like that where a table with 12 CIOs/CISOs was focused exclusively on Netskope. Just fantastic.
Thank you for including me!
I look forward to the next time we have the opportunity to meet

I had the pleasure of joining the C-Vision International, Nordics CISO Council Roundtable with a wonderful group of cyber executives. We had a wonderful, insightful conversation and the whole experience was enjoyable. I made great new contacts and reconnected with existing contacts on really important topics that matter to CISO’s and all in cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend joining in any C-Vision event.
