Momentum AI Austin is intentionally designed as a highly curated executive summit, bringing together the leaders responsible for enterprise AI strategy rather than the broader technology ecosystem. The event provides a unique environment for senior executives to exchange practical insights, discuss emerging challenges and announce new initiatives in front of an influential audience of peers, investors, analysts and media.
Media accreditation is now open, with a limited number of places available for qualified journalists. Accredited media will have opportunities to attend Reuters journalist-led sessions, cover major announcements and interview senior executives responsible for some of the world's largest enterprise AI programs.
