Agenda Day 2

9:15 AM PRESENTATION | BEYOND GENAI: DEPLOY AGENTIC AI TO AUTOMATE WORK, NOT JUST GENERATE WORDS

Agentic AI is the next leap beyond GenAI: autonomous digital “workers” that execute complex processes at software speed and near-zero marginal cost. Yet no UK bank or insurer has moved past pilot stage. Knowledge gaps, shaky data foundations and governance anxiety stall progress while early movers eye dramatic operating leverage. CDOs need to lay out and execute pragmatic agentic AI development and deployment roadmap before rivals out-automate them.


  • Find out how agentic AI can create a scalable digital workforce without blowing up risk budgets.
  • Hear executive-level definitions that demystify agentic versus generative AI and frame the opportunity beyond uncertainty.
  • Learn a step-by-step readiness checklist covering data quality, orchestration tech, governance and change-management tactics through tried and tested case studies. 

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Simon.
