The Gen AI Event of the Year
Join us and a select group of senior executives for the second Gen AI Breakthrough Conference – the premier event focused on generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) – on 8-9 October 2025 at Convene Bishopsgate, London, UK, for nearly 15 hours of learning, networking, and sharing of best practices.
Watch the welcome by Ted Fernandez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from last year’s conference.
What You Can Expect to Learn
Our unique program on breaking through with Gen AI examines how businesses are transforming work, unlocking competitive advantage and redefining what’s possible.
The conference is built on real-world case studies, practical use cases, and the experiences of senior executives across finance, procurement, supply chain, HR, IT, and GBS. You’ll also gain from The Hackett Group’s wealth of knowledge, including insights and market research from hundreds of AI sessions, our extensive case library, and data from our Hackett AI XPLR™ platform.
“The insights and use cases that were shared on AI and operating models, as well as the networking were incredibly valuable.”
