AI Salon KL: AI in Enterprise + Durian Party!
Unfiltered Chat with AEON360 and Foodpanda
🚀 AI is no longer an experiment for large enterprises.
Across retail, e-commerce, logistics, and customer experience, organizations are figuring out how to move beyond pilots and actually deploy AI at scale. But what does that journey really look like?
Join us for the next edition of AI Salon KL as we welcome leaders from AEON 360 and Foodpanda for an unfiltered conversation on what it really takes to drive AI adoption inside two of Malaysia's leading consumer enterprises.
Beyond the hype, we'll explore the realities of deploying AI at scale – from navigating legacy systems and securing organizational buy-in to delivering measurable business impact.
Expect practical insights, candid stories, and meaningful conversations with Kuala Lumpur's growing AI community.
