› PAGE / CONFERENCE
Evidenced sessions. Real numbers. No future-of-AI prophecy.
The AIDE conference is editorially selected, not commercially driven. Every session is led by a practitioner who has shipped - with the workflows, costs and outcomes to show for it.
› TRACKS
Six tracks. One question: did it ship?
T/01
Deployment & Operations
Pilot-to-production playbooks, change management, run-state ownership.
T/02
Governance & Risk
Model risk, audit trails, EU AI Act, sector-specific assurance.
T/03
Workflow & Automation
Agentic workflows, RPA-to-AI handoff, process redesign.
T/04
Data & Integration
Retrieval, ground truth, vector + warehouse architectures, evaluation.
T/05
Finance & Back Office
Reconciliation, close, controls, FP&A automation in regulated environments.
T/06
Customer & Service Ops
Service deflection, agent assist, quality monitoring at scale.
