The State of AIQ4 2026
Where AI actually stands today,and where it goes next.
AI has moved further in the last three months than most of us have had time to keep up with. This is the morning you catch up. One live session on what’s actually new, what it means for a business your size, and what’s coming next.
10:00am PDT
business leaders
Three months is a long timein AI right now.
Think about how much has come out since the last time you properly looked at this. Most of it arrived while you were busy running your business. That’s the real problem with the pace right now: not that anyone is behind, but that nobody has time to sort what actually matters from what was just announced loudly.
That’s what this event is for. A current, specific read on where AI stands: what’s real now, what’s close, what’s still a demo, and what it means for a company your size.
You’ll leave knowing what changed this quarter, and what’s worth your attention before January.
The key takeaways
Clarity on what’s real
Which AI claims hold up, which ones are noise, and where your industry actually sits going into Q4.
A line of sight on what’s next
What’s coming in the next quarter, what’s further out than the marketing suggests, and which of it is worth planning around now.
Your questions answered
Time at the end to ask what any of it means for your business, and get a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
The presentation
A straight read on where AI stands going into Q4 2026: what it does well now, what it costs to run, and what’s coming next.
So much is changing right now. New models like GPT-6 Astra. New platforms like Grok Bot. New security problems turning up in places nobody thought to look. We’ll work through what each of them actually changes for a business your size.
The session runs about 90 minutes, with time at the end for your questions.
