AI Literacy Agenda
For Business Professionals and Anyone Who Wants To Get Ahead with AI
AI skills are essential for you and your entire team. According to Gartner, "By 2027, organizations that emphasize AI literacy for executives will achieve 20% higher financial performance compared with those that do not." That's why the AI Literacy Track at AI Accelerate 2025 offers a comprehensive, business-focused journey into AI, designed specifically for professionals and leaders seeking practical, actionable AI knowledge. This two-day experience begins with an inspiring keynote by Terry Jones, former CEO of Travelocity and Kayak.com, followed by an immersive full-day bootcamp that equips teams with foundational AI literacy, real-world examples, and immediate techniques to integrate AI into daily workflows.
On day two, attendees will dive deeper into generative AI with a hands-on ChatGPT & Gen AI 101 Bootcamp, gaining practical skills in prompting, data analysis, and AI-driven productivity tools. Coupled with valuable networking opportunities, receptions, and interactive workshops, this track ensures your team leaves confident, certified, and ready to drive AI-powered innovation across your organization. Attendees of both days will earn two certificates from AI Boardroom and TDWI: AI Literacy for Business Professionals and ChatGPT and Generative AI for Business Professionals.
