<\/a>Orlando, FL<\/span><\/b>, April 23, 2025 –<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Qlik\u00ae<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), has announced a new slate of featured speakers for its flagship customer event, Qlik Connect\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a02025, taking place May 13\u201315 in Orlando, Florida. New to the mainstage lineup are leaders from Lenovo, Visa, and Reworld, each set to share how their organisations are putting data and AI to work \u2014 not in theory, but in practice, at scale.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Joining them at the event will be the four members of\u00a0<\/span>Qlik’s AI Council<\/span><\/a><\/span>, a global group of independent AI experts who are shaping governance, policy, and innovation across sectors. Together, this mix of enterprise practitioners and respected AI authorities will frame a grounded view of what’s working now in AI \u2014 and what isn’t.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>“Our shift from a product-driven to an experience-driven approach means prioritising the satisfaction of our partners, sellers and customers and this isn’t possible without trusted data and applied AI,” said Dilip Bhatia, Vice President and Chief Experience Officer at Lenovo. “At Lenovo, we’re embedding intelligence into the moments that matter along the customer journey \u2014 from purchase and design to delivery and support \u2014 and we’re doing it at scale. At Qlik Connect, we’re looking forward to sharing how Lenovo is elevating experience by turning insight into action in real time.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“You can’t optimise what you can’t see \u2014 and that was our reality before we had a unified, trustworthy data foundation,” said Charles Link, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at Reworld. “Now, we’re not just tracking sustainability outcomes \u2014 we’re proactively improving them. At Qlik Connect, I’ll share how getting the data right enabled us to put AI to work where it actually counts: in operations, in investment decisions, and in environmental impact.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“There’s no shortage of AI noise in the market. What’s missing is a sharper focus on how AI is actually being implemented \u2014 and where it’s delivering measurable results. Qlik Connect will cut through the noise and showcase the organizations leveraging AI to turn data into better decisions, at scale, in production,” said Mike Capone, CEO of Qlik.<\/span><\/p>\n
