The conference, scheduled for Sept. 24-26 in Orlando, Fla., brings together experts in an array of industries to explore what’s possible in business transformation.
Wu will lead a workshop, “How to Get Your Enterprise Ready for the AI Revolution,” which addresses how businesses must change and adapt to the disruption created by AI before truly realizing its tangible business value and benefits. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of what exactly AI entails and how it can best be leveraged in their company.

He will discuss how PROS AI-powered solutions accelerate conversion of prospects to customers, empowering companies to drive growth and win rates while improving customer experience.
“The promise of AI is all around us, but even innovation-savvy businesses are left wondering what exactly the technology can do to deliver real results and transformation,” said Wu. “Microsoft is at the forefront of empowering people and businesses to realize their full potential, and PROS is equally committed to enabling companies to achieve and exceed their goals. We look forward to offering our vision on how AI is moving businesses forward, while also providing actionable steps for Envision attendees.”
