An Exclusive CXO Roundtable: In Collaboration with HFS Research

Thursday, July 23, 2026 12:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. EST
The Lambs Club, New York, NY

A Strategic Conversation Among Industry Leaders

This closed-door roundtable convenes a select group of enterprise and technology leaders shaping their organization’s AI agenda. Designed for open dialogue and shared perspectives, the discussion will focus on how to balance cost, control, and competitive advantage as AI scales—and how leading organizations are redefining value in the next phase of AI.

The Shift from AI Access to AI Advantage

As AI adoption scales, access to models and tools is no longer the challenge—sustaining value is. Rising model and token costs are placing pressure on budgets, even as expectations for ROI continue to grow. Enterprises must rethink how they optimize AI investments, control costs, and protect what truly differentiates them to turn AI at scale into long-term competitive advantage.

This July, we are bringing together enterprise and technology leaders, in collaboration with HFS, to examine one of the most critical imperatives in AI today—how to create sustainable competitive advantage when AI itself is no longer a differentiator.

Themes We Will Explore

Balancing AI Innovation with Cost and Value

How enterprises are navigating rising consumption costs while aligning AI investments with measurable business impact.

Protecting Enterprise Intelligence in an Open AI Ecosystem

How organizations are safeguarding proprietary data, domain knowledge, and core intellectual property as AI adoption expands.

Redefining Operating Models for AI at Scale

How enterprises are evolving governance, execution, and operating structures to support sustainable AI adoption.

Differentiating When AI Is Widely Accessible

Where competitive advantage is emerging when foundational AI capabilities are no longer a differentiator.
