This facilitated discussion is structured as an open, attendee-driven conversation centered on the themes emerging from the Business Systems & Data track. Rather than a formal presentation, the direction of the discussion will be guided by the interests, questions, and experiences of those in the room. The Summit Director will serve as facilitator, helping to surface key topics, connect ideas, and keep the conversation productive.
Speakers from the track will contribute their perspectives, but the value of the session comes from the collective input of both experts and participants. Attendees are encouraged to share challenges, compare approaches, and explore practical applications in a collaborative setting that reflects real-world conditions and priorities.
