AI ambition is accelerating across the enterprise but converting that ambition into measurable business value remains a critical challenge. According to IBM IBV research, while 80% of executives expect AI to contribute significantly to revenue by 2030, only 25% have a clear understanding of where that value will originate. As organizations move beyond experimentation, the focus is rapidly shifting from isolated AI initiatives to enterprise-wide scale, operational readiness, governance, and measurable ROI.
PRIMAS – The 25% Club is an exclusive two-day invite only event designed for a select group of senior business and technology leaders navigating this transition. Built around the overarching theme of Scaling AI Across the Enterprise, the forum will explore what it truly takes to operationalize AI at scale: from building the right technology and data foundations, to securing AI systems by design, to unlocking business value through agentic AI and intelligent operations. Structured across three dedicated tracks, the event will enable candid peer discussions, strategic insight sharing, and practical conversations on how organizations can move AI from experimentation to sustainable enterprise impact.
