Chief Futurist Ian Beacraft to Keynote at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas on Designing AI-Ready Organizations

AI is reshaping how value is created across the enterprise, but many organizations are still operating with models built for a pre-AI world. As a result, technology adoption alone is not translating into sustained impact. At the highly anticipated IT conference Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas, June 9–11 at the Bellagio, Info-Tech Research Group will feature keynote insights from Ian Beacraft, CEO and Chief Futurist at Signal and Cipher. Beacraft will share with thousands of CIOs, industry experts, and analysts in attendance how IT leaders can redesign work to better align with the demands of AI-driven change.

At Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas, Attendees Will Explore:

• Why AI initiatives often fail to deliver value when applied to outdated ways of working
• How operating models, workflows, and decision-making must change to support AI at scale
• Where AI is being misapplied and limiting its impact
• What it takes to design organizations that can adapt alongside AI

Known for making emerging technologies understandable and actionable, Beacraft has advised global enterprises, including Nike, Google, and Microsoft, on how to turn AI from a technical capability into a driver of performance, reimagine how work is designed, and prepare teams for the future of work.

As AI capabilities continue to expand, Info-Tech has been highlighting in its recent research and reports that expectations around how work is executed and how value is delivered are shifting just as quickly. Existing processes, team structures, and decision models were not designed for continuous, technology-driven change, creating friction as leaders attempt to scale AI effectively.

"Many organizations are trying to apply AI within working models where it isn't well suited," says Info-Tech Research Group's Chief Research Officer, Gord Harrison. "Through Ian Beacraft's keynote and the broader agenda at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas, leaders will better understand how rethinking decision-making and execution can help them truly get value from AI."

By bringing together research, external perspectives, and peer dialogue, Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas will help IT leaders understand what it takes to apply AI more effectively across the enterprise. Attendees will leave with a stronger sense of how to support meaningful change in the way work is led, managed, and delivered.
