The Goal Of This Summit
The goal of the AI-Powered Innovation & Organisational Transformation Summit 2026 is to bring together senior, cross-industry leaders to explore how organisations are moving from AI ambition to enterprise-wide execution.
Across two days, executives responsible for innovation, transformation, products, people, data, and operations will share how they are navigating the shift from experimentation to real organisational change — while balancing speed, responsibility, trust, and measurable business impact.
The summit focuses on the non-obvious challenges leaders face once AI moves beyond pilots:
- How to align AI initiatives with business strategy
- How to design operating models that scale AI responsibly
- How roles, skills, and leadership expectations are changing
- How to measure value beyond technical success
- How to govern AI without slowing innovation
This is a practical, peer-driven summit designed for leaders who need clarity, depth, and applicability, not vision slides or abstract theory.
Points of Discussion
Senior-level discussions and case-driven conversations include:
- Moving from AI pilots to enterprise-scale adoption
- Redefining the role of innovation and transformation leaders in the AI era

- Measuring the real ROI and value of AI beyond “it works technically”
- Workforce and skills transformation: new roles, new capabilities, new responsibilities

- Responsible AI in practice: governance, ethics, bias, transparency, and trust

- Make vs. buy vs. partner: navigating the AI ecosystem strategically
- AI-driven product and service innovation: what actually works
- Embedding AI into core B2B and B2C journeys at scale

Why a Summit and Why Now?
By 2026, AI is no longer new — but how organisations operate with AI is still deeply unresolved.
Most enterprises have experimented. Many have invested heavily. Few have truly scaled AI in a way that is coherent, trusted, and strategically aligned.
At the same time:
- Leaders face increasing pressure to deliver measurable impact
- Workforces are experiencing role ambiguity and skills disruption
- Trust, ethics, and governance are becoming board-level concerns
- AI spend is rising faster than clarity on value creation
The challenge today is not access to technology.
It is leadership, judgement, and organisational design.
This summit exists to create a space where senior leaders can step away from hype, speak honestly about what is working (and what isn’t), and learn from peers who are facing the same realities
It’s all about the EXPERIENCE!
This summit is designed as a curated executive experience, not a trade show.
- One-track agenda — no missed sessions
- Senior-only audience — meaningful peer conversations
- No vendor pitches — only practical insight and discussion
- Case studies, panels, inside sessions, and interactive brain spas
Every element of the programme is built to support depth, relevance, and applicability — so participants leave with insights they can actually use back in their organisations.
This is a room for leaders who are:
- Already responsible for AI outcomes
- Navigating uncertainty and complexity
- Looking for honest dialogue, not polished success stories
If you are responsible for turning AI into sustainable organisational value, this summit is for you.
