#CAIOExchange

Europe's premier invite-only
event for Enterprise AI Leaders
Re-Defining Structure, Speed & Impact

25-26 February 2026 | London, UK 

Re-Defining Structure, Speed & Impact.

Europe’s AI journey has entered a new phase. Over the next 18 months, the AI Act will become an operational reality, the Data Act will reshape how enterprises access and use information, and governance will sit alongside innovation as a boardroom priority.

But regulation is only part of the story. The fundamental transformation is happening inside the enterprise. Chief AI Offices are evolving, often merging into CIO, CTO and CDO functions, but sometimes emerging stronger as dedicated leadership hubs. Traditional Centres of Excellence are giving way to agile ‘AI Factories’ where platform-level guardrails and decentralised teams combine to deliver change at unprecedented speed.

Across industries, advanced AI tools are no longer side projects; they are the engines driving new products, services, and working methods. Agentic systems are moving from experiment to production. Evaluation and oversight functions are being embedded into every layer of AI delivery. And leaders are under pressure to prove ROI in months, not years.

With our zero-media and invite-only process, leaders gather to challenge each other, share what works, and uncover the strategies that turn complexity into competitive advantage. It’s where new ideas move from conversation to implementation and where the future of AI leadership in Europe takes shape.

At Our Exchange, You Don’t Just Gain Inspiration for Your Industry Story, You Write It.

2026 Key Event Themes

A Mandate for Governance and Compliance in 2026  

The evolution from assistant to agent has created an explosion in trust-related challenges. Our agenda is heavily influenced by the demand for explainable, brand-safe, and ethically governed systems that build confidence both internally and to customers.

AI Education as a Strategic Skill for Senior AI Leaders 

From cross-functional enablement to role-specific training, CAIOs must ensure their teams understand and adopt AI safely and effectively. Education is quickly becoming a foundational skill for those leaders looking to scale and implement AI systems at the enterprise level.

From Rogue Innovation to Enterprise Value – Capturing Scaling What Works 

Innovation doesn’t always come from the top. Organisations are surfacing grassroots Generative and Agentic AI use, turning unplanned breakthroughs and therefore security risks into sustainable wins. Organisational design is crucial, and no one has the playbook yet.

AI Strategy Meets C-Suite Impact 

The Chief AI Officer Exchange is not just an AI conference – It’s a leadership Exchange. Connecting deep tech with board-level imperatives, the Agenda focuses on how CAIOs define success, communicate value, and own enterprise-wide outcomes.
