LAS VEGAS, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VIP Play, Inc. (OTCQB: VIPZ), an AI-first sports entertainment and fan engagement company, today announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Les Ottolenghi, will deliver the opening plenary keynote at the invite-only Chief AI Officer Exchange on Tuesday, October 21, at 8:30 a.m. CDT. The keynote, titled "Defining Intelligence: How CAIOs Lead Strategy, Set the Narrative, and Win the Boardroom," will address one of the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing enterprise leadership: the evolving role of the Chief AI Officer (CAIO).

As industries accelerate into an era defined by artificial intelligence, the CAIO is emerging as one of the most strategically vital roles in the C-suite. Yet, it remains one of the least understood.

The keynote will provide an actionable framework for enterprise leaders, detailing how CAIOs can lead across the three most critical phases of AI between now and 2030, while also executing the three essential responsibilities required to earn trust and set a company's trajectory. Drawing from proven enterprise playbooks, Ottolenghi will illustrate how CAIOs can align stakeholders, accelerate adoption, and establish themselves not just as technologists but as the voice of the future in the boardroom and the voice of the customer across the enterprise.

"Artificial intelligence is not just reshaping business models—it is redefining leadership itself," said Les Ottolenghi, CEO of VIP Play, Inc. "The Chief AI Officer is positioned at the center of this transformation. Those who can clearly translate the language of AI into strategic action will not only capture competitive advantage but will also define the direction of their industries. This conference is about equipping leaders with the clarity and frameworks to win in a winner-take-all race."

Ottolenghi's participation underscores VIP Play's broader mission to pioneer AI-first experiences in sports media and fan engagement while contributing to the thought leadership that shapes AI adoption at the highest levels of enterprise governance.
