Did you ever walk into a conference session thinking you were ready for the week, only to realise the announcements were coming so fast that you almost needed an agent of your own to keep up?

He has spent the week ...

Have you ever wondered how an idea that begins with two friends in a pub ends up shaping conversations about health all over the world? That was on my mind as I met  Graham Link & Timothy Gnaneswaran from Movember on the show floor at AWS re:Invent.

What happens when AI adoption surges inside companies faster than anyone can track, and the data that fuels those systems quietly slips out of sight?
