Sioux Falls, SD, October 14, 2026 —

Chief Technology Officers from The Home Depot, Wayfair and Rokt discussed the effects of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, on their companies at TIME’s Executives of the Year Impact Dinner: Tech & Data in New York City.

The discussion focused on three areas: how technology is enhancing customer experiences, improving operational efficiency and making adaptability among employees increasingly necessary. The summary of the event did not specify particular products, systems or workplace changes discussed by the executives.

The event brought together technology leaders from three companies in different areas of commerce and technology. However, the available information does not identify the participating executives by name or provide details about their individual remarks. No direct quotations, examples of AI applications, performance figures or timelines were provided.

The account also does not specify whether the executives described projects already in use or plans for future technology adoption. It gives no company-by-company breakdown of the changes discussed, so the themes cannot be attributed to any one of the three businesses based on the information available.

The discussion linked technology adoption with both customer-facing services and internal operations, while also highlighting the need for employees to adapt. Further details about how companies are responding to that need were not provided. The event summary offers a broad outline of the executives’ topics but does not include enough information to assess the scale or measurable effects of the changes they described.
