Playtime is Over – start unlocking the true potential of Generative AI at scale

Generative AI has quickly moved from an emerging technology to a vital enabler of business transformation.

Date: 22nd January 2025

Time: 1-7.30pm

Location: 40 Holborn Viaduct, London, EC1N 2PB

It’s the technology at the top of every organisation’s agenda, with 80% of businesses increasing generative AI (GenAI) investment year-on-year, according to the latest report from Capgemini Research Institute. The conversation around AI and its ability to drive efficiency and business transformation, continues to bubble on across boardrooms, media, and even the dinner table.

Now, it’s time to stop experimenting and seize the opportunity. With a future-proofed, long-term GenAI strategy.

Join us at our ‘Playtime is Over’ event, where industry leaders and some of the leading minds across AI policy, risk, ethics, and technology will assemble to discuss the opportunities and challenges of scaling AI.

Get ‘hands on’ with the transformative power of GenAI through live demonstrations and keynotes to understand how to safely progress beyond cost-saving exercises with real solutions that drive meaningful impact at scale. Delivered by technology experts across the full Capgemini Group as well as our ecosystem of partners and vibrant network of UK startups. Together, we’re putting GenAI to work.
