TD doesn’t bet on AI. It bets on the people who run it. ⚡

So here’s the real question: are you one of them?

AI is rewriting every team. The winners won’t be the ones who know the tools. They’ll be the ones who can lead with them. 🧠

Sumee Seetharaman built at Microsoft. Now she runs AI & ML at TD Bank Group. On the Main Stage, she’s giving you the inside track:

→ The skills that are about to be worth the most
→ How AI ideas actually get funded and greenlit
→ How to lead when the ground is shifting

🎤 Beyond the Model: The Skills and Leadership That Make Enterprise AI Real
🗓️ Day 1 | Nov 19 | 10:55 AM
