AI or Bye. Act now, or watch others take your market.
AI is no longer a future decision. It is a present one. Business leaders across every industry are being asked the same question: how do you move past experimenting with AI and start capturing real value from it? The businesses that will lead their industries in five years are answering that question today. Every week of inaction is market share, efficiency, and competitive advantage handed to someone else.
The AI or Bye series, presented by Mimacom in partnership with GACC South, brings together Mimacom experts and industry leaders for four sessions in 2026, built for business leaders who are done with hype and ready for results. Each session focuses on what works in practice: how organizations assess opportunity, prove value fast, and scale what delivers results.
Each session runs 45 to 50 minutes of content, followed by 10 to 15 minutes of Q&A.
Mimacom's speakers work inside AI transformation projects every day. They have seen what separates the companies pulling ahead from those falling behind, and they bring those lessons directly to attendees. Expect real-world examples, honest assessments, and practical guidance on where your business stands today and exactly what to act on now. Whether you are still exploring or already scaling, the series is built to give you clarity on the next move.
Mimacom serves as presenting sponsor of the series, organized with the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Southern U.S. (GACC South, Atlanta).
In the first session of the AI or Bye series, Mimacom VP Technology Fabian Kleiser explains what separates enterprises that scale AI from those stuck in proof-of-concept purgatory.
This session is built for business leaders, not for engineering teams. The focus is on the decisions that sit with the business: where AI is worth funding, what it changes in the operating model, and how to tell real progress from activity.
Attendees will see what a structured path from the first use case to scaled impact looks like in practice, backed by examples from companies that have run AI transformation successfully.

The second webinar in the series turns to a problem few businesses have solved well: proving AI decisions to a regulator without slowing the business down. Working title: Beat the Regulators: Material Compliance AI Automation, set for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET.
This is where compliance and AI collide, and where most transformation programs stall. Expect a Mimacom speaker paired with a customer guest speaker who has faced the problem directly, bringing a real account of what regulatory-grade AI automation actually takes. Final title and speaker line-up will be confirmed ahead of the Webinar 1 follow-up email on August 20.
The pattern holds across every session: real project experience, not theory, and a next step you can act on before the following one begins. The first session gives you a way to assess where your organization stands today. The second turns to a different test, whether your AI decisions hold up once a regulator starts asking questions.
Attend one session or all four. Each stands on its own, and each adds another layer of judgment you can bring back to your own AI decisions.
Registration for the first webinar is open here.
We look forward to meeting attendees online on August 19.
