Proxify Talks: AI meets reality: From AI potential to real-world impact

💡 AI meets reality: From AI Potential to Real-World Impact

There’s no shortage of conversation about what AI could change. We’re more interested in what happens when you actually try to make it work.

About the event:
AI's potential is no longer in question — what separates the leaders from the laggards is execution in the real world.
Proxify Talks brings together CTOs, senior engineering leaders, and technical executives for an evening of candid keynotes, sharp panel discussions, and honest conversation about what it takes to put AI to work inside real organizations - beyond the hype, beyond the demos, and past the current technological chaos.
Expect depth over buzzwords: our speakers choose their own angle on the theme, so you'll hear a genuine range of perspectives on implementation, not a repeated pitch deck.
