The Big Quote: “[In a year], I still think we'll be talking about GenAI . . . we'll have real use cases. I think we'll be able to really share productivity statistics that show the impact of GenAI so that people are like, 'Wow.' We're going from, 'Is this real? Should I do a proof of concept?' to 'How do I proliferate GenAI across the platform . . . knowing the company will have at least crossed the 20,000 customer mark in terms of attendance?'"
