Net Solutions to Host Exclusive Executive Dinner on "AI as an Operating Advantage" in New York City

New York, NY - March 11, 2026 - Net Solutions will host an invitation-only executive dinner, "AI as an Operating Advantage: Retail & Sports Executive Dinner," at Point Seven in New York City. The evening brings senior leaders together to cut through hype and talk about AI where it matters most: operating results, customer impact, and revenue.

Why this matters now

AI has moved from pilots to production. Boards and CEOs expect measurable outcomes, not experiments. This dinner offers a trusted, small-room setting for executives to compare what's working, what isn't, and what to do next-without the noise of a big conference.

Expect frank discussion on governance, risk, and scaling models grounded in practical reality. For leaders building a responsible foundation, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework is a useful reference point that may inform the conversation.

What leaders will cover

  • Prioritizing high-impact AI use cases tied to P&L and customer outcomes
  • Measuring ROI beyond pilots: value realization, time-to-impact, and KPIs that matter
  • Operating models: centralized vs. federated, platform choices, and build/partner decisions
  • Cross-functional alignment across data, product, engineering, marketing, and operations
  • Talent strategy: where to upskill, where to hire, and how to enable business teams
  • Integration complexity: data readiness, system interoperability, and change management
  • Risk, security, and governance frameworks that keep innovation accountable

The format is a curated dinner-no slides, no stage. Expect candid peer exchange on where AI is delivering efficiency, lifting customer engagement, and opening new revenue, as well as the roadblocks that still slow adoption.

"AI is no longer a future concept-it is an operating imperative," said a spokesperson for Net Solutions. "This dinner reflects our commitment to fostering authentic conversations among industry leaders who face similar opportunities and challenges. By creating a collaborative environment, we aim to help organizations move beyond pilots and unlock sustainable, enterprise-level value from AI."

Who should attend

Senior executives from retail and sports-operations, product, data, technology, and customer leadership-who are accountable for turning AI investments into outcomes. Attendance is limited to protect confidentiality and quality of dialogue.
