Modernize, Scale, and Innovate Faster with AI, Data, and Digital Engineering.
Facilitated by Scott Carter, Executive AI Roundtable
October 22, 2026, 6:00 PM | Detroit, MI | BESA




An Open Dialogue on AI
Every leader is being asked to have a point of view on AI, faster than the results can catch up. This roundtable steps out of the hype and into a candid, peer-level exchange. No slides, no keynotes, no pitches. Just a room where everyone is navigating the same terrain and comparing notes.
Drawing on perspectives from automotive, manufacturing, technology, financial services, and other complex enterprise environments, the conversation will explore what’s working, what’s not, and where the real opportunities and challenges lie.
This is the first paper in a three-part series. Whitepaper 2 covers Operational Excellence. Whitepaper 3 covers Implementation, Roadmap, and Cloud Deployment.
