Future-Ready Leader Summit

Stop Guessing About AI.
Learn Where It Can Create Real Business Value.

A two-day working session for leaders who want a practical AI plan, not another conference.

October 13-14, 2026 Rogers, Northwest Arkansas Limited to 50 attendees

Founding pricing: $247 through August 31 or the first 10 seats, whichever comes first.

The Problem

Every business leader is hearing the same thing: “You need an AI strategy.”

But what does that actually mean? Should you be using Microsoft Copilot? Do you need AI agents? Is your competition already ahead of you? What can AI realistically help with today? And how do you separate genuine opportunity from expensive distraction?

If you’ve been asking those questions, this event was built for you.

Your Team Doesn’t Need More Work.

They need more capacity. Most organizations aren’t struggling because their people aren’t working hard enough. They’re struggling because too much time disappears into email, meetings, reports, status updates, searching for information, and repetitive administrative work.

Your People Are Busy.

The question is whether they’re busy doing the things that matter most. Today’s AI tools can help. The challenge is knowing where.

This Is Not An AI Conference.

It’s a working session designed for leaders who want to understand what Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI Agents mean for their business and leave with a practical plan for action.

Who Should Attend

This event is designed for leaders responsible for results.

Operations Leaders

Directors and VPs of operations, operational excellence, and continuous improvement who own how work gets done.

Supply Chain and Manufacturing Leaders

Supply chain directors and manufacturing operations leaders at supplier and manufacturing organizations.

Business Unit Leaders

Directors, vice presidents, COOs, and business owners responsible for improving how their teams work.

If you’re being asked to “figure out AI” while still running the business every day, you’ll fit right in.

The Agent Question

Do I actually need an AI agent?

Everyone is talking about AI agents. The reality? Many organizations can create significant value without building a single one. We’ll help you understand what an AI agent actually is, when it’s worth building one, when Microsoft Copilot is already enough, and where most organizations should focus first.

Because the goal isn’t to collect technology. The goal is to solve business problems.

Limited to 50 attendees to maintain an interactive, workshop-style experience.

The Bottom Line

You don’t need to become an AI expert.

You just need to know what matters, what doesn’t, and where to start. Join a small group of business and operations leaders for two days of practical conversations, live examples, and hands-on planning designed to help you cut through the noise and make smarter decisions about AI.
