New York: Scaling AI Beyond Silos: Best Practices for Ecosystem AI Adoption and ROI

McKinsey notes that many executives struggle to realize meaningful ROI when AI remains confined within organizational silos. As artificial intelligence becomes a board-level priority, leadership teams face critical questions: when a pilot shows promise, what must happen next to scale it across the organization? And how can decision makers ensure that AI investments deliver measurable outcomes rather than becoming isolated? This executive session addresses those challenges from both the Subject Matter Expert (SME) and AI Scientist perspectives, the two roles most responsible for turning AI experimentation into real operational impact. Rather than discussing AI in theory, participants will work through a practical exercise: selecting a real AI use case and transforming it into a scalable blueprint with clear ROI pathways, adoption strategies, enterprise AI governance frameworks, and execution milestones. Join Deepak Mittal, Founder & CEO, NextGen Invent Corp., Board Member, CBS Alumni Club of New York, for an interactive executive discussion designed to help leadership teams Scale AI with clarity, discipline, and measurable business impact. Participants will gain practical frameworks to build scalable AI capabilities that drive operational efficiency, innovation, and long-term enterprise value. Date:  Tuesday, June 23, 2026 Time:  12:00 NOON - 1:00 pm Location: Zoom. The access link will be provided 24 hours in advance. And again 30 minutes in advance. A recording will be sent to all those who are registered within a day or two of the event. Fee:  $15 CBS Alumni Club of NY members; $25 non members You may register here.

New York: Strategy at the speed of inference: What Happens When Analysis Is Free

Panel Discussion with Networking - Wine/Light Bites Strategic advantage has long rested on the quality of analysis: who could synthesize the most information, find the sharpest insight, and turn it into a defensible plan. AI has collapsed the cost and time of that work. Market intelligence that took six weeks now takes an afternoon, and is often stale by the time leadership convenes to discuss it. Core Questions What does decision-making look like at the speed of inference, and where does it break? How are PE operators and corporate boards repricing strategy services now that the underlying analytical labor has been commoditized? What is the new moat for consulting firms when generic models replicate most of a junior associate's output? If AI handles the apprenticeship work, how does the next generation of senior strategists develop the judgment AI cannot replicate? And where has this transformation underdelivered, and what are firms quietly walking back? Panelists ● Jenny Fielding, Co-founder + Partner, Everywhere Ventures ● Kes Sampanthar, Founder & CEO, Centaurian AI ● David Thomson, Founder & CEO of Inevitable ● Iliya P. Zogovic, Founder & CEO, DBD Investment Bank ● Moderator Christine Alemany, Founder, Thrv Advisors (Women’s Circle Board Member) Date:  Thursday, June 4, 2026 Time:  6:00 - 8:00 pm Location: The Conference Center, 130 East 59th St, 7th Floor, NYC Fee:  $25 CBS Alumni Club of NY members; $35 non members and guests You may register here.

New York: Ask for More: Strategic Negotiation for Financial Professionals with Prof. Alex Carter

Negotiation is so much more than deal-making. It’s business development. It’s client relations. It’s story-telling. It’s risk mitigation. It’s collaboration. It’s human capital management. Only 7% of people know the secret to negotiating at an expert level - but mastering it is simpler than many people think! In this innovative, interactive talk, participants of all seniority levels will learn how to improve their negotiation abilities, including not just ways to make deals, but how to nail the messages that land those great deals. Straight from the pages of Alex’s Wall Street Journal bestselling book, Ask for More: 10 Questions to Negotiate Anything, participants learn how to ask powerful diagnostic questions, adjust their word choices to increase the odds of a “yes,” and then “land the plane” for the greatest effect. The results? Quantum-leap results in their personal and professional lives. Alexandra Carter is the Everett B. Birch Innovative Teaching Clinical Professor of Law and the Director of the Mediation Clinic at Columbia Law School. In 2019, Professor Carter was awarded the Columbia University Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching, Columbia’s highest teaching honor. Her first book, Ask For More: Ten Questions to Negotiate Anything, was published by Simon & Schuster in May 2020 and became an instant Wall Street Journal Business bestseller, the first negotiation book solo-authored by a woman to make that list. Date:  Wednesday, June 24, 2026 Time:  6:00 - 8:00 pm Location: The Spiral Building at Hudson Yards, 66 Hudson Blvd. East, NYC Fee:  $25 CBS Alumni Club of NY members; $35 non members and guests You may register here.  For any further inquiries, please contact [email protected].
