Who's afraid of AI? Not you.

This Halloween, join DI Squared and Qlik for a "spirited" network-and-learn evening that's all treats, no tricks.

Join us on October 30th in Minneapolis for an evening with Laura Madsen, author of "AI & The Data Revolution". She’ll share practical and prescriptive advice for data leaders tasked with navigating AI adoption and delivering actual results.

What you'll walk away with:

A clear model for managing change and growth by leveraging the "Keepers, Optimizers, and Disruptors" in your organization.
An actionable approach to AI governance that focuses on value and individual contributions.
Proven strategies for harnessing the power of AI while mitigating organizational risk.

This spooky session includes a taco bar, locally distilled spirits + AI-generated cocktail recipes, and a signed copy of Laura’s book to guide your strategy long after the event.

Come for the eerie-sistible drinks, stay for the conversation. And, we hope, you'll arrive home with a few more friends (but not ghosts) in tow.

Sign up today, Minnesota!
