Mind & Machine DFW: AI for Business Leaders - July 16, 2026
About this Event
Mind and Machine, Presents:
Outcompete Everyone, Everywhere, All of the Time with AI
Artificial intelligence is changing the rules of competition.
The businesses pulling ahead today aren't necessarily larger, faster, or better funded—they're making smarter decisions, uncovering deeper insights, and acting faster than their competitors. AI is making that possible.
Join Mind & Machine DFW as we welcome , AI educator, AI marketing strategist, SMU marketing professor, and keynote speaker, for an eye-opening session on how leaders can use today's most powerful AI tools to gain a lasting competitive advantage.
In this practical, business-focused presentation, Gary will introduce a new way of thinking about AI—not as a replacement for people, but as an "AI-empowered team" that expands knowledge, accelerates research, improves decision-making, and enhances business effectiveness. Drawing on real-world examples, current research, and live-use business scenarios, he'll demonstrate how AI can help organizations understand customers more deeply, monitor competitors more intelligently, and uncover opportunities that would otherwise remain hidden.

Human + Machine.
