EVENTS
//SHIFT is TAG’s new technology summit exploring the trends, technologies, and ideas shaping the future of business and innovation.
Built on the success of TAG’s Data Science & AI Society and TAG’s Tech Workforce & Legislative Summit, //SHIFT brings these communities together under one roof to explore the technologies, talent, and policies shaping what’s next.
This year’s theme — AI — focuses on how organizations are moving from experimentation to execution, bringing together the companies building AI, the enterprises deploying it, and the leaders shaping what comes next.
It’s changing how companies operate, compete, hire, secure data, and make decisions right now.
//SHIFT brings together the leaders building, deploying, and scaling artificial intelligence across the enterprise. Designed for executives, practitioners, founders, policymakers, and innovators, the summit explores what it actually takes to move from experimentation to implementation in today’s rapidly evolving AI landscape.
