NYC Executive Forum 2026 - Leading Transformation When Technology Won’t Wait

For years, technology leaders have been working to position IT as a strategic partner to the business, not just a cost center. That journey hasn't changed, but the landscape around it has shifted dramatically. The arrival of generative and agentic AI has compressed timelines, raised the stakes on data readiness, and introduced entirely new questions around governance, talent, and investment that boards and executive teams are asking right now. In this panel discussion, technology executives from across industries share how they are navigating this accelerated environment, balancing long-standing transformation priorities with the urgency and opportunity that AI now brings. Expect candid perspectives on what's working, what's proving harder than expected, and how leaders are building the organizational muscle to keep pace.  Learn more about AWS events: https://go.aws/events Subscribe: More AWS videos: http://bit.ly/2O3zS75 More AWS events videos: http://bit.ly/316g9t4 ABOUT AWS Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosts events, both online and in-person, bringing the cloud computing community together to connect, collaborate, and learn from AWS experts.
