Can AI Create Business Value, and Double Knowledge Worker Productivity?

Former Amazon leaders John Rossman and Trent Gillespie are sponsoring an exclusive, in-person event at the Seattle Collective on June 1st at 3:00 p.m. This event is for business and technology leaders interested in exploring how generative AI will impact business, whether it can be used to double knowledge worker productivity as analysts suggest, and how to prepare for it. John and Trent will present their insights from their current work and research, provide a demonstration of the business uses of generative AI, and facilitate discussion to see how other companies are using generative AI today.

Attendees can expect to gain knowledge, insights, and actionable strategies for leveraging generative AI in business to drive growth from other experienced leaders. The event will include specific instructions and a live demonstration of how to use ChatGPT to increase the speed and effectiveness of Amazon’s Working Backwards Press Release innovation process as a demonstration of the use of generative AI in product management.

"Generative AI is already beginning to revolutionize businesses and reshape industries. We are excited to bring together leaders and innovators to explore the practical applications of this technology and drive real business impact as generative AI enters mainstream use," said John Rossman, former Amazon executive.

After the demonstration, John and Trent will facilitate a discussion with attendees about how to best utilize generative AI, how to transform into an AI-enabled organization, and the potential impacts if knowledge worker productivity can in fact be doubled in the next 18 months. Attendees will also be able to give feedback about their support needs as their businesses enter this new era of hyper-digitalization, for a stealth startup backed by John and Trent.

Appetizers and drinks are to be provided, and attendees can stay after the event for additional information and Q&A, by attending the free June Seattle Innovators event at the same location, also hosted by Trent.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn from industry veterans and be at the forefront of generative AI adoption in the business world. Secure your spot today and unlock the transformative potential of AI for your organization.
