One thing that sets apart Foundry events is that they are informed by the always-insightful editorial coverage from titles such as ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã, CSO, and InfoWorld.

Members of the event team are not only avid readers, we pick the brains of the journalists to help guide the event content and invite them to join us as session moderators.

At our upcoming Data, Analytics & AI Summit – a virtual event taking place April 11 – attendees will hear from ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã editors and contributors, including Paula Rooney, Lucas Merian, Issac Sacolick, and Today in Tech podcast host Keith Shaw.

Here’s some suggested reading to get you prepared for the event, along with the sessions that they correspond to. I hope you don’t mind a little homework! It’s by no means required to have a great event experience, but I promise these are well worth your time.

ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã: ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãs sharpen cloud cost strategies — just as gen AI spikes loom

Just as ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãs began to understand and tame cloud costs, generative AI upended the calculus. ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã Senior Writer Paula Rooney has been following the issue and at the summit will update us on the current state of managing cloud costs in a conversation with Anne Johnston, Vice President, Cloud Costs and Engagement at Capital One; Vipul Nagrath, ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and SVP, Head of Product Development for Major Account Solutions & Human Resources Outsourcing at ADP; and Craig Williams, Vice President and ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã at Ciena.

ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã: How ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãs navigate generative AI in the enterprise

In this piece, ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã contributor Bill Doerrfeld explores how tech leaders are using generative AI to unlock growth and productivity – but also noting how they can contribute to technical debt and present a host of risks around data privacy and security, algorithmic biases, and other ethical quandaries.

For more real-life examples of integrating GenAI into the enterprise, Computerworld Senior Writer Lucas Mearian will talk with Janus Henderson Global ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã Chris Herringshaw and Jay Upchurch, ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã of SAS. It’s a can’t-miss conversation for anyone leading GenAI implementation.

Today in Tech: Host Keith Shaw asked nearly a year ago when technologists will achieve artificial general intelligence and what the implications could be. It’s a fascinating question that has captivated the likes of tech giants from Bill Gates to Elon Musk to Jensen Huang. The conversation features Jyotika Singh, who will rejoin us in a new discussion at the event along with Keith and Jason Mars, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. What’s amazing is how much has changed since the podcast.
