AI is reshaping buyer expectations faster than any CMS trend we’ve seen. Prospects now ask: “How will your platform harness my data for AI without locking me in?” This session arms agency leads, sales engineers, and product owners with a pitch that lands. We’ll map the AI conversation to Drupal’s core strengths—its open-source DNA, composable architecture, and unrivaled content-model flexibility—showing how those translate into faster model training, lower TCO, and freedom from black-box SaaS traps. You’ll leave with a jargon-free narrative, fresh proof points (from real AI-enabled Drupal builds), and a one-page value-matrix you can drop into your next proposal.
