Why This Summit Now

Enterprise AI is shifting from experimentation to accountability, and agentic AI is accelerating that shift by moving AI from “assistive” tools into workflows that can plan, decide, and act with increasing autonomy. That change raises the bar on governance because leadership teams must now be clear on what is delegated to systems, what remains a human decision, and how oversight is enforced in day-to-day operations.

At the same time, boards and executives are asking for evidence—not optimism—that AI is safe, controlled, and aligned to business outcomes, which is why “evidence-ready” practices are becoming the new baseline for enterprise adoption. This summit is built to align leadership, risk, and technology on the practical decisions that shape enterprise AI in 2026, with responsible AI as the operating standard and agentic AI as the emerging capability that needs the strongest clarity and controls.

You’ll leave with a clearer view of what “good” looks like for agentic AI governance in real organisations—covering decision rights, oversight models, guardrails for high-impact workflows, and the operating mechanisms needed to scale responsibly.
Why this summit now

Agenda

Check in, collect your summit materials, and connect with fellow attendees over coffee before the program begins.

A relaxed opportunity to start conversations with AI leaders and practitioners.

This session examines how generative AI and agentic systems are reshaping how organisations collect, structure, interpret, and act on data. Learn how AI is transforming data from static assets into dynamic, decision-driving intelligence.

A candid leadership discussion on how responsibility for AI must extend beyond the technology team. The speakers will explore how governance, risk, legal, and business functions must collaborate to ensure accountable AI deployment.

Gain a practical understanding of the end-to-end AI pipeline—from extracting usable insights from raw data to deploying reliable AI systems in production environments. The session highlights operational challenges and best practices for scaling AI solutions.

Enjoy lunch while continuing conversations with speakers, partners, and fellow participants. A chance to exchange ideas and build new professional connections.

A practical workshop focused on frameworks and strategies organisations can use to adopt AI effectively. Participants will explore real-world approaches to integrating AI into business processes while managing risk and change.

Discover how the Openclaw platform enables enterprises to build and manage advanced AI capabilities. The session will highlight how organisations can leverage Openclaw to create scalable, secure, and adaptable AI solutions.

Learn how organisations can design operating models, governance frameworks, and control mechanisms to ensure responsible AI deployment. The session focuses on balancing innovation with compliance, risk management, and oversight.

The closing keynote reflects on the major themes of the summit and outlines what lies ahead for agentic and responsible AI. Key insights will help organisations prepare for the next wave of AI transformation.

Conclude the summit by connecting with fellow leaders, speakers, and practitioners. An opportunity to deepen discussions, exchange perspectives, and explore potential collaborations.

Learning Outcomes

A clearer view of where agentic AI fits in enterprise workflows and where guardrails are essential.

Practical governance and oversight patterns for agentic AI that support responsible AI commitments.

Realistic approaches to becoming “evidence-ready” for boards and decision-makers in 2026.

Deliverables

Deliverables
  • Agentic AI governance blueprint: Decision rights, accountability (RACI), autonomy levels, and human-in-the-loop / escalation design to deploy agentic ai safely in enterprise workflows.
  • Evidence-ready pack outline for leadership/boards: What to document (controls, monitoring, incidents, approvals, outcomes) so agentic ai initiatives are defensible and reviewable—supporting responsible ai expectations.
  • Responsible AI controls checklist for core workflows: Minimum guardrails for GenAI/agentic ai in production—risk triggers, monitoring signals, and “go/no-go” criteria for high-impact use cases.
  • 90-day implementation plan template: A practical plan to move from summit insights to execution—owners, milestones, governance cadence, and rollout phases for responsible ai at scale.
