ABBYY AI Summit Series 2025: Your Inspiration to Innovation

There’s a fair share of AI events in the market, but there is still a gaping hole for an event that shares real-world results within the enterprise. Not just theories or pilots—deployments with demonstrable value. Until now.

Last May, we decided to stake our flag in the ground and hosted our first ABBYY AI Summit in London at the Emirates Stadium to purposely address the market’s hunger for learning how businesses are successfully applying AI within their organizations.

Attendees heard first-hand accounts from ABBYY customers Société Générale, Rolls-Royce, and Emerson about the power of AI used for intelligent process automation to improve business outcomes. They specifically learned how using AI to transform data within documents and improve processes is the foundation for every transformation initiative—from increasing operational efficiencies and maximizing technical investments to improving customer experiences. It was unlike any other enterprise AI event, and we knew that the market wanted more.

To meet growing demand, this spring we expanded the ABBYY AI Summit to a series in three locations: Vienna, Austin, and London. We met with automation and innovation leaders and partners in these locations, with each event offering unique perspectives important to their regions. The agendas offered inspiration for what you can achieve within your organization.

Here is a glimpse of what informed and inspired attendees.

• The AI hype is real, but let’s face reality. It’s important for leaders and practitioners to confront the hard truths about its challenges before they can realize the transformative impacts possible. While your c-suite may be talking about AI strategy, so much of what’s being built right now will collapse under pressure. It’s important to invest in AI that’s scalable, explainable, and trustworthy.
• Forty percent (40%) of AI investments are wasted due to inefficient operations. There are many ways to make ad hoc changes for incremental improvements, but without a full view of how your business processes work, adding more tech to the stack will not stop the bleeding of your IT investments, nor improve productivity. Process intelligence is the best strategy for unlocking the full potential of AI—and it’s simpler to deploy than you thought.
• There’s a game-changing evolution going on with Document AI. Once a tool for eliminating errors from manual processing, advanced OCR now plays a pivotal role in advancing intelligent process automation. This shift enables AI systems and agents to operate at their full potential, driving smarter decisions and deeper insights. To maximize AI performance, there are now new tools to transform unstructured data to fuel next-gen business processes and create unparalleled efficiencies.
• AI compliance is here, and it’s vital. No matter if you’re in the Europe Union or United Kingdom, complying with AI Acts and GDPR, or in the wild west of the United States where AI regulations have eased, it’s crucial that your organization take a proactive approach. By adopting practical strategies for navigating regulations, building trust, and ethically harnessing AI to drive innovation, you can turn compliance into your competitive edge.
