"We won't be investing in anything unless it's AI." We hear a lot of Boards decare this going into 2026. Yet across many portfolios, AI adoption at the company level remains uneven, under-scaled, or disconnected from tangible value creation. As hold periods lengthen and traditional levers deliver diminishing returns, the gap between GP ambition and portfolio company execution in AI deployment is becoming harder to ignore. Join this session to hear where and how AI deployments are truly making a difference:
• Where is Ai truly paying off?
• Why so much value remains trapped?
• How long does it take for you to expect realistic ROI from AI deployments?
• What does it take to translate experimentation into measurable EBITDA impact?
Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Jawad.
