Applying AI technologies session at ECIA conference

ECIA’s Executive Conference Committee announces a new session, Utilising and Applying AI Technologies – Chad Bush, VP Strategic Alliances, Sayari; Sarah Tang, Co-founder, Sluicebox; and Xavier Smith, Director of Research, AlphaSense.

The ECIA Executive Conference is an event for industry executives. The conference is specifically tailored for senior management and executives in the industry’s leading companies. The date for the 2025 Executive Conference is 19-21st October, 2025, at a new location, the Westin O’Hare Hotel.

This session is an executive-focused fireside chat with leaders from Sluicebox, Sayari, and AlphaSense where they discuss how AI is being strategically applied to drive business value. The three experts will explore real-world use cases where AI enhances decision-making, risk management, and operational efficiency. Designed for senior leadership, the conversation will focus on practical insights and high-impact outcomes rather than technical details. Discover how these companies are leveraging AI to stay ahead in a competitive landscape – and how your organisation can do the same.


“ECIA has recently announced important member initiatives in this arena,” commented Stephanie Tierney, ECIA Director of Marketing Communications and Member Engagement. “This is must-have intelligence about how new AI technologies in our industry are giving executives the tools they need to guide their organisations.”
