TAG AI Summit: The AI-Powered Enterprise

Description

AI is moving from experiment to operating reality.

The TAG Data Science & AI Summit 2026 is a full-day Atlanta experience connecting executive strategy with applied implementation. Designed for executives, technical leaders, practitioners, and academics, the summit brings together Georgia’s AI ecosystem to explore what it takes to move AI from ambition to measurable business impact.

The morning focuses on AI leadership, governance, and building an AI-ready organization. The day opens with a keynote on AI as the next competitive advantage, followed by two concurrent tracks:

• LEAD — For executives and business leaders focused on AI strategy, organizational readiness, governance, and building the AI-powered enterprise.
• BUILD — For practitioners and technical leaders focused on applied analytics, data science, and putting AI into production.

The morning concludes with an executive panel examining trust, governance, and AI risk.

The afternoon shifts from strategy to execution, exploring the analytics, data science, and AI systems that turn decisions into measurable business outcomes. The program features industry roundtables over lunch spanning financial services, healthcare, travel and transportation, telecommunications, manufacturing, and retail. The afternoon continues with a panel on moving from AI investment to business results, three interactive working sessions, and a closing keynote exploring the next wave of enterprise AI.

The summit brings together perspectives from organizations including Equifax, Delta Air Lines, Southern Company, AIG, FIS, Elevance Health, Synchrony, Honeywell, AT&T, IntellaQuest, Intuitive.ai, and Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business.

The day concludes with an invite-only AI Leadership Reception, bringing together senior leaders and innovators from across Georgia’s AI community.
