AI, Automation & The Future of Your Industry

What Leaders Need to Know Now

For more than 20 years, Gene Marks has covered business technology for Forbes, reporting regularly on the latest advances in artificial intelligence, automation and enterprise software.

In this fast-paced, practical keynote, he separates AI hype from business reality and explains what is actually impacting industries like construction, manufacturing, distribution, retail and financial services.

Drawing from his interviews with Microsoft, Google, emerging AI firms and real-world companies implementing these tools, Gene outlines where AI is delivering measurable ROI - and where businesses are wasting time and money.

This keynote focuses on:

  • AI risks and realities
  • AI agents and automation in operations
  • AI in sales, CRM, estimating, forecasting and finance
  • AI in real life in your industry
  • Workforce implications and leadership strategy
  • AI governance, risk and data management
  • Where to invest in 2026-2027 for competitive advantage
  • What to expect in the next 12-24 months

Attendee outcome: A clear, practical technology roadmap - not theory - and a better understanding of how smart leaders are using AI to protect margins and drive growth.
