A private sounding board for ERP and AI strategy

You’ve already made the bold decision to take control of your ERP future. Now join a curated group of Rimini Street client leaders for this invitation-only virtual discussion and networking happy hour on AI, ERP strategy and future optionality.

Hosted by Valencia Powell, with perspective from Rimini Street CTO Rod Masney, and facilitation by VP of Product Marketing Scott Hays, this private forum will explore what is real versus hype in AI and ERP, where leaders are seeing friction, what’s working and how peers are preserving future control and optionality.

This isn’t a webinar or a sales presentation. It’s a high-caliber peer conversation designed for CIOs, CTOs and senior IT and digital leaders. Confirmed attendees will receive a complimentary cocktail kit delivered ahead of the event to enjoy during the discussion.

Who should attend: CIOs, CTOs, VPs and senior IT or digital leaders.
