The conference, scheduled for Sept. 24-26 in Orlando, Fla., brings together experts in an array of industries to explore what’s possible in business transformation.
Wu will lead a workshop, “How to Get Your Enterprise Ready for the AI Revolution,” which addresses how businesses must change and adapt to the disruption created by AI before truly realizing its tangible business value and benefits. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of what exactly AI entails and how it can best be leveraged in their company.

He will discuss how PROS AI-powered solutions accelerate conversion of prospects to customers, empowering companies to drive growth and win rates while improving customer experience.
