The Chief AI Officer Exchange returns to Europe in 2026!
Europe’s AI journey has entered a new phase. Over the next 12 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. The fundamental transformation is happening inside the enterprise. Chief AI Officers are evolving, and 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 experience to production. Evaluation and oversight functions are being embedded into every layer of AI delivery, and leaders are under pressure to deliver ROI in months, not years.
In 2026, leaders will gather at our zero-media and invite-only Chief AI Officer Exchange, where they will challenge each other, share best practices, and uncover the strategies that turn complexity into a 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.
See what's in store!
