The hype cycle is over. The pilots are running. The board is asking questions nobody has clear answers to.

The leaders navigating this well recognise the hype, focus on value-in-production, invest in their people, and stay honest with their boards about what they don't yet know. That last part seems to be proving harder than we all hoped.Nobody wants to stand up at a board and say "I'm not sure yet." But the ones who are (and follow it with a credible plan for finding out) are being backed.

That's the conversation we want to have.

Join us for a closed-door breakfast with senior technology and business leaders to explore where AI is being put to good use, where it isn't, and what it really takes to move from ambition to production in a regulated environment.

We'll be exploring the gap between board expectations and operational reality, the talent pipeline that nobody has solved, and whether anyone is yet genuinely reimagining their operating model, or just running pilots on doing what they do today but better.

A small group of CTOs, COOs, chief digital and AI officers in a Chatham House room where people can share what‘s really going on and what they think about it .

We'll be at Claridge's in Mayfair so the breakfast will be excellent. But you'll leave with something more than a good meal: a clearer sense of what your peers are really doing, and some clear action points to take back to your own organisation.
