AI Training: A Look Back at the First Edition

AI Training – A morning of practical discussions to kick-start an effective artificial intelligence strategy

Key data from the 9th edition of the IT Trends highlights the urgency to act: 81% of Canadian companies plan to make a major technology investment within the next two years and nearly one in three will do so specifically in artificial intelligence. It was in this context that NOVIPRO, in collaboration with its partner Videns, held an exclusive training session on May 22 at the Honeyrose Hotel in Montreal.

A total of about twenty participants from various sectors took part in this interactive two-hour session, all sharing a common goal: understanding how to integrate AI in a structured, practical and business-relevant way.

A Strategic, Practical, and Accessible Training Session
Led by Martin Pelletier (Head of Strategic Initiatives at NOVIPRO) and Sarah Legendre Bilodeau (Partner and CEO at Videns), the session provided a strategic perspective on the opportunities and challenges of AI adoption. Sarah shared real-world use cases and practical advice to help kick-start a successful technological transformation.

What Participants Learned:

Why Act Now?
According to the 2025 IT Trends:

• 32% of companies plan to invest in AI within the next two years
• Fewer than 10% consider themselves mature in their use of AI
• The main obstacles are: lack of internal expertise (44%), limited understanding of use cases (35%) and data quality issues (29%)

An Environment Conducive to Open Exchange
Beyond the content, participants highlighted the quality of the atmosphere and discussions, fostered by the intimate format and the availability of experts to address specific cases. The morning concluded with a delightful networking meal, giving participants the opportunity to continue the conversations in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. This special moment allowed participants to build connections, ask more targeted questions to AI experts and share forward-looking perspectives.
See you in 2026 for an even more inspiring edition!
