Executive Summit

Access is no longer the problem. Every AI tool can open a document or summarise an email. The problem is that access without governance produces outputs that are unreliable, indefensible, and dangerous in regulated environments. With 80 to 90% of enterprise data unstructured and only 26% of data leaders able to use it confidently, the gap is not retrieval, it is governance. With regulators and boards demanding greater AI accountability, governance and chain of custody are becoming non-negotiable.

Join this session to explore:

• Closing the gap between AI accessing your data and producing defensible outcomes
• Why governance and chain of custody matter more than access
• What Australian courts and boards now require, and how this is expanding globally

As organisations face accelerating technological change, shifting customer expectations, and growing operational complexity, transformation has become a continuous business imperative. Today's CIOs are increasingly accountable for driving change while strengthening resilience, managing risk, and enabling growth. How can technology and security leaders create lasting business value in an era of constant disruption?

Join this session to explore:

• Driving transformation as an organisational capability
• Balancing innovation and modernisation with operational resilience
• Aligning people, culture, and technology to accelerate change and deliver business value at scale 

As organisations accelerate AI adoption, CIOs and CISOs are facing new challenges around security, resilience, data sovereignty and operational complexity. The rise of distributed AI is making visibility and control more critical than ever. How can leaders build the trusted digital foundations needed to scale AI securely while maintaining resilience and governance across increasingly distributed environments?

Join this interactive session to explore

• Building the infrastructure, network and security capabilities required to support AI
• Strengthening cyber resilience as AI expands the enterprise attack surface
• Balancing AI innovation, security and data sovereignty requirements

As AI agents increasingly make decisions, execute tasks, and interact with systems independently, organisations are entering a new era of digital labour. What began as AI-assisted productivity is rapidly evolving into AI-driven execution, with agents acting on behalf of employees, teams, and customers across the business. How can organisations prepare for a future where AI agents operate across the business and become a trusted and governed part of the workforce?

Join this interactive session to discuss:

• Develop governance frameworks that define authority, accountability, and oversight for AI-driven actions
• Establish identity and access controls that validate agent authorisation and business intent.
• Balance rapid AI adoption and innovation with security, privacy, and regulatory risk management requirements

As organisations move beyond AI experimentation, the challenge is no longer deploying AI. It is embedding AI into everyday work in ways that are trusted, scalable and aligned to business outcomes. How can CIOs and CISOs build the governance, capabilities and operating foundations needed to make AI a seamless part of how their organisations work?

Join this session with Ranil Boteju, Chief AI Officer, Commonwealth Bank as he shares his vision and learnings on:

• Building the governance, security and risk frameworks to scale AI responsibly
• Integrating AI into decision-making, workflows and customer experiences
• Moving beyond pilots to drive measurable business value
