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 — the questions that matter in the boardroom, not just the lab.

Conversation, not lecture.
Rather than traditional presentations, the conference primarily features executive Fireside Chats — designed to encourage open discussion, practical lessons, and audience participation. Each session brings four elements together.
Moderated Conversation
A guided dialogue that draws out candid, executive-level perspective.
Audience Q&A
Direct access to speakers, with questions from the room.
Real-world AI implementation stories
First-hand accounts of AI implementation and what it took to deliver.
Interactive Discussion
Participation over presentation — a room that thinks together, not a lecture.
Ten conversations shaping enterprise AI.
