If you own the employee AI rollout, this is two days on the part that decides whether it pays off: adoption, digital dexterity and measuring impact. The maturity assessment gives you a baseline to report against. The two analyst one-on-ones let you pressure-test a vendor shortlist or a DEX metric before you commit to it. Track C deals directly with connecting employee experience spend to business outcomes, which is the argument a CIO has to make to the CFO for the next round of AI-at-work licences.

• ✓Track A: Leadership and Strategy (strategy, operating models, investment and funding priorities)
• ✓Track B: Skills, Enablement and Adoption (AI-enabled work, AI and digital dexterity, culture change)
• ✓Track C: Experience, Value and Outcomes (DEX programmes, digital friction, journey mapping, impact measurement)
• ✓Two 30-minute one-on-one meetings with Gartner experts per attendee
• ✓Digital workplace maturity assessment
• ✓Roundtables, workshops and Meetups (pre-registration recommended)
• ✓Show floor with solution providers and personalized demos

• ★The whole 2027 programme is framed around redesigning employee work for AI, not a general IT agenda
• ★Each attendee gets two 30-minute one-on-ones with Gartner experts, twice the usual single slot
• ★Includes a digital workplace maturity assessment you can take back as a baseline
• ★Track C ties employee experience programmes to business goals and measured impact, which is where AI-at-work budgets get questioned
