June 22 - 23, 2027 

Uniting enterprise leaders to revolutionize AI enablement
& innovation through strategy, governance, security, risk management, compliance and literacy.

The 2nd Annual Responsible AI Summit North America marked a pivotal shift in how organizations approach Responsible AI: not as a supplementary safeguard, but as a foundational requirement for implementing and scaling AI systems. As AI becomes deeply embedded across enterprises, responsibility is no longer confined to technical teams. Rather, it is a shared, cross-disciplinary practice. This year’s summit focuses on real-world governance, technical safeguards, and operational workflows that enable innovation while maintaining accountability.

Delegates experienced candid, cross-sector dialogue that went beyond internal conversations and left with practical insights, sharper perspectives, and a stronger sense of community shaping how AI is built and governed responsibly.  Stay tuned for 2027 announcements!

Why attend #RAISummit?

This summit is designed for enterprise leaders responsible for enabling AI innovation at scale while managing governance, security, risk, and regulatory accountability. Reflecting how this work happens in practice, the event is organized across two integrated streams, one focused on technical implementation and one on governance and oversight, bringing both perspectives together across the AI lifecycle.

    • Gain practical, real-world insight from peers addressing AI governance, risk, and security challenges in production today
    • Learn how technical and governance teams are operationalizing responsible AI across agentic systems, supply chains, and live environments
    • Understand how organizations are navigating and managing evolving regulatory expectations, including U.S. federal policy shifts, state-level AI laws, and global frameworks such as the EU AI Act
    • See how leading enterprises are securing AI systems and defending models, data, and
    • decision-making across the workflow
    • Be part of a trusted, closed-door community of senior leaders shaping how responsible AI is implemented in North America


WHAT WAS NEW THIS YEAR? 

New Streams for 2026

Focused on risk-based, audit-ready governance that can keep pace with AI speed: covering accountability, regulatory navigation, third-party oversight, and operating models for agentic and invisible AI.

Dedicated to the post-deployment realities, agent control planes, monitoring and evaluations, security, and defending increasingly autonomous systems.
