Thank You for Being Part of ALL IN 2026!
Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Booth #M34
From September 16 to 17, 2026
ALL IN: here's what was said, and what we heard.
We asked everyone on the show floor the same question: what's feeding the chaos in your business?
Those who answered came from across the organization — IT, finance, operations, sales, executive leadership — and the chaos they describe changes depending on where they sit.
Disconnected systems came out on top. Right behind, tied: manual processes, too many spreadsheets, and conflicting numbers depending on who you ask. On the executive side, it's precisely that systems disconnect that stands out most. On the IT side, it's the lack of a single source of truth.
For years, companies have invested in building a single source of truth. Yet trade-offs remain complex, decisions are slow, and plans are constantly being called into question.
In 2026, amid market volatility, geopolitical tensions, and accelerating AI adoption, competitive advantage is no longer about having the right data. It's about no longer feeding the chaos — and deciding faster, together.
Panel: The AI Model Isn't Your Constraint
On stage, our session brought together three perspectives that rarely share the same stage, around a real AI-driven S&OP case:
- the buyer (Stephane Huot, Angelcare)
- the integrator (Jacques-Antoine Ollier, Talan)
- and the platform builder (Jasneet Kohli, TrueGradient)
The takeaway: most AI transformations don't stall on the algorithm. They stall on data nobody owns, a process that was never designed for it, and teams that were never truly brought along.
"What separates a pilot that dies from a project that reaches production is almost never the technology."
— Jacques-Antoine Ollier, Talan
Private Cocktail: AI Is Adopted by Everyone. Governed by No One.
During our private cocktail, Benjamin Commault (VP Data & AI, Talan) and Samuel Boulanger (Senior AI Workforce Solutions Engineer, Microsoft) brought together Finance, IT and Operations leaders around a single question: who, in your organization, actually answers for AI governance?
According to a 2025 KPMG study, 59% of CFOs and 61% of CIOs each claim primary responsibility for AI. Both are right. That's exactly why so many projects stay stuck in pilot.
Benjamin Commault wrote about the CFO's new role in this equation: not the owner of the technology, but the guarantor of its value — data quality, governance, real adoption, cost-to-value discipline.
AI Value Assurance
AI Value Assurance is a structured program designed to turn AI investments into measurable value, from initial scoping through to scaling. Each stage delivers tangible outcomes from the outset.
Allocate capital strategically, stop unprofitable use cases, manage AI as a portfolio of assets, and defend the results.

Who Is Talan?
Most business challenges today aren't a technology problem. They're disconnected systems, manual processes, data nobody trusts.
Talan is not a technology vendor. We're a consulting firm that helps companies stop feeding that chaos and decide faster — by bringing together strategy, data expertise, business processes, systems, and artificial intelligence into one transformation.
We start with the business problem. We rethink the business model and its processes, make data reliable, governed, and actionable, then integrate the right technologies to modernize and connect the value chain.
On those foundations, we deploy AI that is governed, measurable, and capable of delivering real business value.
We solve complex business challenges.
That's Talan.
