What's on the agenda

The conversations CIOs and CISOs are having right now.

Every session is built around the real challenges on technology leaders' desks in 2026 — from AI governance to cyber resilience, from platform modernisation to demonstrating ROI at board level.
From AI pilots to enterprise scale
Most organisations have run AI experiments. Far fewer have scaled them. What separates the leaders, and what does the path from pilot to production actually look like?
AI governance and the CISO imperative
As AI becomes operational, the security and governance surface expands dramatically. How are CISOs building frameworks that enable innovation without creating unacceptable risk?
Cyber resilience in an agentic world
When AI agents can test and deploy autonomously, the threat surface shifts. How are security leaders rethinking identity, access and supply chain integrity for a world with minimal human oversight?
Platform modernisation without the big bang
How do you migrate off legacy systems and open your architecture for the future without a multi-year programme that derails the business? Real patterns from CIOs who have done it.
Making the board care about technology risk
Translating cyber and technology risk into language that lands in the boardroom. How CISOs are building board-level credibility and securing investment for what actually matters.
The CIO as a commercial leader
The CIO role has shifted from cost centre to revenue driver. How are today's technology leaders demonstrating commercial value, influencing strategy and earning a seat at the top table?
