Yesterday afternoon, something remarkable unfolded at a cozy local pub. It wasn’t just the clinking of glasses or the hum of friendly chatter—it was the sound of progress. Expogain’s 2025 afternoon event brought together partners, customers, and friends to unveil a bold new chapter in our journey: the launch of our AI Opportunity Assessment program and the announcement of McQuarrie-Highland’s majority stake in Expogain.
The fireside discussions were at the heart of the event, candid and inspiring conversations that delved into the transformative power of AI and the opportunities it presents for businesses. As someone who has spent decades navigating the tech world, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and excitement. The room was alive with curiosity and optimism as we shared how our new AI Opportunity Assessment program will empower businesses to identify and harness AI’s potential. Hint: It’s not just about technology; it’s about creating tailored solutions that address real-world challenges and drive meaningful ROI and progress.
The partnership with McQuarrie-Highland was another highlight of the day. Their investment is more than just financial backing—it’s a validation of our vision and a catalyst for innovation. With their support, we’re poised to scale our operations, enhance our offerings, and bring cutting-edge AI solutions to market faster than ever before. Sam Halloran, a board member at McQuarrie-Highland, captured it perfectly when he said, “We are only at the precipice of the disruptive shift we’re about to see in the AI market.”
What struck me most during the event was the palpable sense of satisfaction and progress among our customers. Hearing their stories of recent success and growth, made possible through our collaboration, was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
The pub setting added a unique charm to the event. It was a space where ideas flowed as freely as the drinks, and where conversations were unguarded and genuine. It reminded me of the importance of community and connection in driving innovation. We weren’t just talking about the future; we were building it together, one conversation at a time.
As the event came to a close, I couldn’t help but reflect on how far we’ve come and how much further we’re ready to go. The combination of our AI expertise, the strategic vision of McQuarrie-Highland, and the unwavering support of our customers and partners is a recipe for success. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started.
So here’s to progress, to partnerships, and to the exciting journey ahead. If yesterday was any indication, 2025 is going to be a year to remember.
