Live Day One Sep 15th (Tuesday)

Francis Wade – Opening Session – A Practical Orientation to LTSP26 900am-920am UTC-5/Central

Francis Wade – Workflow First: Why Process Comes Before AI, Not After 920am-1015am UTC-5/Central
The instinct is to bolt AI onto however you already do strategy. This talk makes the case for the opposite order: map your strategy workflow into distinct stages and activities first, because each stage carries different risks and needs different support. Only once the process is visible can you tell where AI genuinely helps and where it quietly produces confident nonsense. This is the conference’s core operating principle, explained plainly.

Amie Devero – Strategy Meets Work 1015am-1100am UTC-5/Central
You’ve pointed AI at your market, your customers, your numbers, your plan. Every one of those tools has total access to your data and zero access to your actual strategy.
What could go wrong?
Or, what will go right? You will definitely get faster meeting minutes and financial modeling. But will the AI add to the strategic orientation of your team, help them make better decisions, build their in-the-moment judgment, or assist you in building a fully activated organization?
Copilot isn’t really into that. But Contextuum is. Discussion, plus product demo.

Dan Bruder – Update: Conversations with Fusion 1100am-1130am UTC-5/Central
During the buildup to the conference we asked you to visit Fusion to experience an interactive conversation with a tool designed to gather information from large numbers of people. Without the usual survey tool. Here’s an update on the results gathered so far and Dan’s next requests in the process.

Day Two – No Live Events (Wednesday)

Live Day Three – Sep 17th (Thursday)

Amie Devero – When the World Reports Back 845am-945am UTC-5/Central
The evidence of your strategy’s shortcomings exists right now, out in the world. But you won’t meet it until next quarter’s numbers. We build strategy on a schedule. Whether you do it over a quarter or a weekend retreat, it’s an event with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Chris Fox – Why Insight Is the Real Bottleneck in Strategy Creation 945am-1030am UTC-5/Central
Most strategic plans fail not from lack of data or ideas, but from a shortage of genuine insight — the kind of understanding that changes what a team actually decides to do. This topic examines why insight generation, not information gathering, is the scarce resource in strategy work, and why teams that skip straight to answers usually end up with generic, forgettable plans.

Kaihan Krippendorff, Simon Fogel, Vikas Chandra moderated by Chris Fox 1030am-1145am UTC-5/Central
Advantage or Illusion? Where AI Actually Moves the Needle in Strategy
AI is everywhere in strategy work now — but is it building real, sustainable advantage, or just helping everyone benchmark and manage risk a little faster, arriving at the same generic answers as everyone else . Our panelists draw the line. Bring your own AI-assisted work and find out which side of it you’re really on.

Dan Bruder – Reporting from Fusion 1145am-1215pm UTC-5/Central
In this session Dan shares insights from the final report. Don’t miss hearing about the kind of reporting you can’t get anywhere else than from a specially trained LLM.

Francis Wade – Closing Session 1215pm-1230pm UTC-5/Central

Day 2 — Wed Sep 16: No live sessions today — Track 1 takes a pause. Track 2 Downloads on demand and Track 3 interactive personas continue from Day One. Then at 11:59pm (noon), the access to Tracks 2 and 3 content refreshes, and all new content becomes available. Full Ticket holders have access to all conference content hours before, during and after the event.

Day 3 – Sep 17 – The conference’s final day begins with a live Contextuum slot, a discussion on Insights, and a Panel Discussion, before a summary of Fusion’s results, all on Airmeet. Track 2 Downloads and Track 3 Interactives are still available until midnight when the conference access closes.
