State of AI in Business Events 2025
91% of organizations report engagement with AI initiatives — yet an "hourglass effect" is creating a widening capability gap between leaders and laggards.
Leaders (15%)
Advanced AI implementation with 3.5× higher ROI on investments. These organizations are already pulling ahead of the competition.
Middle Majority (65%)

Minimal AI adoption, facing growing competitive vulnerability. Without intervention, this gap will only widen.
