enterprise solutions, and executive strategy.

Wednesday AI Highlights
Vibe Coding Live: From Idea to Working Application — Parts 1 and 2
In this live, two-part demonstration, an AI development agent will be used to move from an idea toward a
functioning application.
Attendees will see how conversational instructions can help define requirements, explore alternatives, generate
code, troubleshoot problems, and improve a solution through iteration.
This is an audience-engaged demonstration. Attendees will not need laptops.

Infor’s Agentic Enterprise – AI Autonomous Agents
This session is a must-attend for organizations looking to unlock the full potential of AI-driven automation.
Join Rick Rider as they unveil Infor’s vision for the Agentic Enterprise, showcasing how autonomous AI agents
are transforming the way businesses operate. Discover how customers can harness the power of Infor’s Leap
Program to accelerate innovation, drive intelligent decision-making, and take the next step on their Agentic AI
journey with confidence and purpose.

Codex in Practice: From Setup to Working Solution
Successful AI-assisted development requires more than installing a tool and entering a prompt.
This session will demonstrate how to prepare Codex to work effectively with an existing codebase and guide it
from a business requirement to a functioning solution.

• Providing project context
• Establishing instructions and boundaries
• Working with source control
• Analyzing requirements
• Planning the solution
• Generating and revising code
• Supporting testing and documentation
• Maintaining human oversight

Beyond the Prompt: Building Real Tools with Claude
This session explores how Claude can be used to create real tools on top of an ERP, including production-
scheduling solutions, KPI dashboards, and other business applications, without replacing the underlying systems
of record.
Attendees will leave understanding not just how to use conversational AI, but how to work effectively with it. You
do not need to be a programmer to begin—although a little SQL goes a long way.

IBM Bob: An Introduction
Meet IBM Bob, IBM’s AI-powered development partner designed to assist across the software development
lifecycle.
This introductory session will explore how IBM Bob can support developers with application planning, coding,
testing, modernization, documentation, and delivery.

The Executive AI Agenda
A strategic session for leaders who need to move beyond scattered experimentation and develop a coherent
organizational AI agenda.
Topics may include business priorities, governance, workforce readiness, investment decisions, organizational
responsibility, and connecting AI initiatives to measurable outcomes.

AI Leadership Discussion
A leadership discussion featuring executive, technical, partner, and practitioner perspectives on responsible AI
adoption, strategy, governance, and implementation.

Thursday — Apply and Execute
Present practical business applications, implementation case studies, and partner or vendor solutions.
Thursday brings the AI conversation into real-world execution.
Attendees will see how organizations are applying AI to software development, ERP integration, automation,
reporting, and business processes while maintaining human oversight and existing systems of record.

Thursday AI Highlights
From BOD to Bank File: Building an Automated AP Remittance Process with AI
How can AI help connect an Infor ERP process with a third-party system that requires an entirely different data
format?
This real-world case study will demonstrate how AI supported the development of an automated AP Remittance
process that:

• Receives an Infor Sync.RemittanceAdvice BOD through ION
• Interacts with the ION process and document structure
• Extracts and stores remittance information in SQL Server
• Applies business and validation rules
• Produces the bank-required output
• Supports troubleshooting and technical documentation

The session will focus on AI-assisted software development and Infor ION process interaction, including
what worked, what did not, and where human technical and business knowledge remained essential.

Vendor and Partner AI Sessions
Sessions will feature AI capabilities, customer examples, implementation approaches, and enterprise solutions
from inPOWER partners and approved vendors.
Infor and IBM receive priority for these opportunities.

What Attendees Will Gain
Participants will leave with:

• A clearer understanding of current AI capabilities and limitations
• Practical approaches for beginning or expanding AI adoption
• Real-world examples of AI-assisted development
• Strategies for working effectively with Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Copilot, and IBM Bob
• Insight into enterprise AI from Infor, IBM, and conference partners
• Ideas for connecting AI initiatives to measurable business outcomes
• A better understanding of where human expertise, validation, and governance must remain in control

One Track. Practical Ideas. Real Business Impact.
