Summary:

While attention around AI has been squarely focused on the enablers—the model makers, hyperscalers and infrastructure builders—we’re entering the next phase of the cycle. As AI diffuses through the economy, gains will increasingly spread beyond the companies building the infrastructure to those using it.

Join Future Standard for a discussion on how private equity sponsors are leveraging and scaling AI across portfolios—and why middle market businesses are best positioned to capture these gains.

Discussion topics:

  • How private equity accelerates AI implementation and captures long‑term value
  • What type of companies are best positioned to benefit from AI rather than be disrupted
  • Why middle market companies are uniquely positioned to integrate and scale AI

Accepted for 1 CFP / IWI / CFA CE Credit
