Executive Summit

CISOs have moved beyond AI experimentation. Now, executives ask: Are 2026’s investments actually reducing risk? The challenge is how to operationalise AI against evolving threats — particularly the rise of sophisticated social engineering attacks — and prove its value. Join this session to discuss: 

• Reducing high-risk incidents — from fraud to emerging human-centric threats
• Embedding AI into core security operations for proactive defense
• Demonstrating measurable security improvements with actionable metrics

This year, Gartner predicts 70% of boards will expect CISOs to operate as strategic business partners rather than technical gatekeepers. The CISO role is rapidly expanding: no longer just writing policies or securing IT, but collaborating across product teams, embedding security in DevSecOps and designing resilience from the ground up. 

Join this boardroom to discuss: 

• Leveraging business acumen to influence decisions at the highest level
• Embedding security into products, processes and organisational culture
• Building a holistic strategy that safeguards people, assets and business continuity

AI is everywhere, but true value remains elusive for many organisations. Often, it’s the human side of the equation rather than technology readiness that lags behind, leading to stalled adoption and unrealised ROI. Tech leaders must look beyond deployment to address the human barriers that determine success. Join Rob O’Donohue, VP Analyst at Gartner, as he shares strategies for driving AI adoption that put people at the centre. 

Hear more on: 

• Why AI initiatives fail when leaders overlook human factors and focus only on technical deployment
• How using human-first language and co-creation with employees can drive cultural change
• How to overcome AI’s perfection paradox and manage behavioural byproducts to unlock sustainable value

AI is reshaping the business landscape, but many tech leaders are grappling with how to move beyond experimentation to real business impact. Join Yves Caseau, Group CDIO at Michelin, as he shares his tech leadership insights and how the world’s largest tire manufacturer has embedded AI across every stage of its value chain, from AI-powered R&D to digital twins to agentic automation. Learn how Michelin is identifying practical AI use cases, protecting data and IP, and evolving IT for the future. Hear more on:

• Identifying and scaling AI use cases that deliver measurable ROI
• Building an AI-augmented IT organisation and balancing automation with expertise
• Positioning tech leaders and teams as drivers of innovation and value
