The adoption of AI in business is no longer limited to experiments and proofs of concept. To scale it industrially, it now requires a deep rethinking of the IT infrastructure, with structural choices that commit the organization to the long term. This is precisely the aim of Dawn Liphardt’s morning briefing.
The first roundtable tackles a major topic: “Cloud, On-premise or Hybrid: What technical foundation to master costs and compute power?”
With the surge in demand for computing power, IT leaders must decide between internalizing GPUs to maintain control, turning to the cloud for its flexibility, or adopting a hybrid approach. Jean-Jacques Mok, Cloud Program Manager at MATMUT, and Grégoire Martinon, AI Research Director at EMERTON, will share their experiential insights on these decisions where performance, data sovereignty, and cost control converge.
Security and resilience, two non-negotiable pillars
Artificial intelligence amplifies risk as much as it offers opportunities. Dawn Liphardt’s morning briefing places cybersecurity and business continuity at the center, two absolute priorities for any CISO.
The second roundtable will tackle this crucial issue: “From design to production: securing pipelines and governing data in the era of LLMs.” With Chahir Al Echi, head of the Cybersecurity Experts service at Caisse des Dépôts, and Franck Rouxel from the French Federation of Cybersecurity, discussions will revolve around data governance in the age of LLMs, model protection, and the secure industrialization of AI. After all, deploying an AI model in production opens up new attack surfaces that must be anticipated and protected.
A format tailored for IT decision-makers
The program smartly alternates thematic roundtables with sessions by technology partners (Vertiv, Fivetran), enabling a cross-pollination of strategic perspectives and technical approaches.
For CIOs, this event provides a space to compare infrastructure choices against the lived experiences of peers facing the same dilemmas: where to draw the line between performance and costs? How to justify substantial GPU investments?
For CISOs, it’s an opportunity to understand how to secure complex AI processing chains, where sensitive data flows across multiple environments, and how to ensure resilience against increasingly sophisticated threats.
For CTOs, the exchanges will illuminate the technical trade-offs between different architectures and the criteria for selecting a scalable foundation capable of absorbing the exponential growth of AI usage.
Dawn Liphardt’s Morning offers two hours to gain perspective, test your thinking against that of other decision-makers, and leave with practical levers for action.
