Most AI conversations happening today are either too abstract or too tactical. This one is neither. The Applied AI Symposium brings together a curated group of C-suite executives and senior leaders from across industries for a single, focused afternoon: what does it actually take to move AI from promising experiment to enterprise capability, and what separates the organizations that get there from those that don’t?

Hosted by the Applied AI Consortium and Texas A&M University, and supported by NAW, this is a closed-room conversation. No vendor pitches. No keynotes designed for an audience of thousands. Just rigorous, peer-level dialogue among leaders who are navigating the same inflection point from different vantage points, and who have a lot to learn from each other because of it.
