DESCRIPTION:How are companies actually adopting AI today?\n\nThis informal 
 IEEE networking session is designed for engineers\, researchers\, and indu
 stry practitioners to share real-world experiences around AI adoption — 
 what’s working\, what’s not\, and where teams are facing challenges.\n
 \nThis is not a talk or presentation.\nThere are no slides — just a cura
 ted\, peer-level discussion.\n\nTopics may include:\n\n- Where teams are i
 n their AI adoption journey (experimentation → production)\n- Use of LLM
 s and AI systems in real-world workflows\n- Challenges in scaling AI beyon
 d prototypes\n- Measuring impact and ROI\n- Build vs. buy decisions\n\nThe
  session is intentionally kept small to enable meaningful interaction.\n\n
 Format\n\n- Short introductions (name\, role\, current AI focus)\n- Open d
 iscussion guided by participant experiences\n- Informal networking\n------
 ---------------------------------------------------------\n\nWho Should At
 tend\n\n- Engineers and ML practitioners working on AI systems\n- Product 
 and platform leaders involved in AI adoption\n- Founders and technical dec
 ision-makers\n- Researchers interested in applied AI systems\n------------
 ---------------------------------------------------\n\nNotes\n\n- No prese
 ntations or sales pitches\n- Participation is encouraged — come ready to
  share and learn\n- Limited capacity to maintain quality of discussion\n--
