Leveraging AI for Business Value
Where executive leadership meets practical AI adoption, turning intelligence into measurable business results.
Presented by Stevens Institute of Technology, School of Business.
From promising technology to measurable business value.
The Stevens AI Conference 2026 examines how leading organizations are transforming artificial intelligence into measurable business value through strategy, innovation, data, decision intelligence, and human-centered AI.
Across a single, focused day, senior leaders and researchers move past the hype to the practice: what it actually takes to adopt AI, lead through change, and build durable advantage. The program emphasizes practical AI adoption, executive leadership, design thinking, agentic AI, and real-world business transformation. These are the questions leaders take back to the boardroom.
