Core Themes
Operationalizing AI at Scale for Enterprise-Wide Integration
As more organizations look to implement AI at scale, the focus is shifting from isolated projects to enterprise-wide adoption. With so much opportunity available, this brings challenges such as strategies & frameworks, scalability, interoperability, and aligning AI initiatives with business objectives, forcing leaders to overcome more hurdles on the way to successful enterprise-wide integration.
Establishing Trustworthy AI with Governance and Ethical AI Frameworks
With organizations beginning to increase their AI initiatives, the expectations of leaders around responsibility become more important than ever. Building trust in these technologies is critical, organizations will face challenges with the urgent need for governance models that prioritise transparency, fairness, and accountability, while also highlighting the importance of mitigating bias, data privacy, and regulatory compliance.
Enhancing AI-Driven Insights Through Scalable Data Ecosystems
As organizations look to maximise the potential of AI initiatives, robust & scalable data architectures become increasing important. The challenge lies in designing a secure, adaptive data ecosystem that enables powerful AI-driven technologies, while ensuring model accuracy, optimizing data flow, and streamlining processes.

Roundtables
Track 1: Turning Insights into Scalable Enterprise Action
As AI implementation rolls out quicker than ever, leaders are facing a critical challenge, how to operationalize it. This roundtable explores the systems, processes, and governance required to embed AI & intelligent agents into everyday operations. From automating content flows to enhancing decision making with intelligent insights, we’ll explore what it takes to turn your AI initiatives into production-scale systems that are ethical, explainable, and built to last.
Focus Areas:
- Operationalize AI across workflows
- Use AI to streamline content, speed decisions, and boost efficiency
- Design infrastructure that adapts with evolving capabilities
Track 2: From Data Lakes to Data Banks: Why Data is very much like a Financial Instrument
Organizations often treat data as a commodity in data lakes, but this limits its potential for AI. The real challenge is shifting to view data as a currency that must be managed, trusted, and productized. This roundtable will explore practical data product examples and show how product thinking can build an AI-ready “data bank.”
Focus Areas:
- Discover and discuss data products having a real impact on society
- Using product thinking to build for data tax efficiency (compliance data sets) and data appreciation (AI ready data sets)
- Consider how to “bank" your data products for future reuse/re-monetization
Track 3: Rewiring Innovation for Real-World Outcomes
Moving Beyond GenAI Hype to Revolutionary Business Impact Transforming the approach to emerging technologies from capability-focused experimentation to strategic initiatives that drive industry-defining breakthroughs.
Focus Areas:
- Understanding why substantial technology investments often fail to deliver transformative business outcomes and how to realign innovation strategies for maximum impact.
- Creating frameworks that shift organizational thinking from technology-first approaches to outcome-driven innovation that reshapes industry dynamics.
- Building practical roadmaps that enable organizations to move beyond technological experimentation to achieve genuine business transformation.
