Organizations must address\nhow AI understands business definitions, accesses governed enterprise data,\nand operates efficiently at scale before it can be trusted to support — and\nincreasingly take — business action. At the same time, the growing cost of\nAI is putting greater focus on Tokenomics, as enterprises look for ways to\nreduce token consumption and compute costs while improving the ROI of AI at\nscale.\n\nAccording to the IDC Future Enterprise and Spending Survey, 93% of respondents\nsay GenAI and enterprise AI priorities have increased the focus on semantic\nlayers within business intelligence and analytics.\n\nThe AI Transformation Forum will bring together executives and experts from\nStrategy, Google Cloud, and leading enterprises to examine how organizations\ncan overcome these challenges. Sessions will explore trusted enterprise data,\nsemantic layers, AI governance, token and compute efficiency, and practical\nstrategies for moving AI from pilot programs into production.\n\n“Enterprises are quickly moving beyond AI experimentation, but scaling AI\nrequires a trusted foundation,” said Kip Amedeo, Chief Revenue Officer at\nStrategy. “Together with Google Cloud, we’re bringing leaders together to\nexplore how organizations can give AI the trusted data and business context it\nneeds to deliver meaningful results at scale.”\n\nThe series will feature perspectives from Strategy, Google Cloud, and\nenterprise data and AI leaders, with additional speakers and participating\norganizations to be announced.\n\nAI Transformation Forums 2026\n\nNew York City — October 1\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events/ai-transformation-forum-at-google-nyc \n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-nyc&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-nyc&index=1&md5=79ada16d4ef34e63a372b0d1cf75671c)\n\nBoston — October 6\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events/ai-transformation-forum-at-google-boston \n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-boston&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-boston&index=2&md5=dfe5683e931202060b406aca1c56fddf)\n\nWashington, D.C. — October 8\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events/ai-transformation-forum-at-google-washington-dc\n\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-washington-dc&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-washington-dc&index=3&md5=5e16324ec1b7bc4679c8133afcd9c85d)\n\nSunnyvale — October 14\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events/ai-transformation-forum-at-google-sunnyvale\n\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-sunnyvale&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-sunnyvale&index=4&md5=4da3f08db0d5882fffcca5f47128c7c0)\n\nChicago — October 20\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events/ai-transformation-forum-at-google-chicago\n\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-chicago&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-chicago&index=5&md5=31143c9d8e1566416a0df1f31bdcb838)\n\nDallas — October 22\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events/ai-transformation-forum-at-google-dallas \n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-dallas&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-dallas&index=6&md5=5a26bf1ad6cb223acf58bcf751cf6ce2)\n\nAtlanta — October 29\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events/ai-transformation-forum-at-google-atlanta\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-atlanta&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents%2Fai-transformation-forum-at-google-atlanta&index=7&md5=9e434b79a37b206510da80b17a605576)\n\nWho should attend: The AI Transformation Forum is designed for CIOs, CDAOs,\nCTOs, and senior data, analytics, and AI leaders responsible for moving AI\nfrom experimentation into production and delivering measurable business value\nat scale.\n\nTo learn more and register for an AI Transformation Forum near you, visit\nhttps://software.strategy.com/events\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents&esheet=54598389&newsitemid=20260903774099&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.strategy.com%2Fevents&index=8&md5=af38200ecc0affd88728ed8e3b9c45ba)\n\nAbout Strategy\n\nStrategy Inc (Nasdaq: STRF/STRC/STRK/STRD/MSTR; LuxSE: STRE) is the world's\nfirst and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company.
