How the evening unfolds
Curated Conversation
Structured so the room moves from candid context to a specific decision each guest can act on Monday.
A prompt from the table.
“Where has your org actually changed a business process because of AI in the last six months - not a pilot, a changed process? And if the answer is 'nowhere,' what's blocking it?”
Where AI risk actually lives.
The debate most orgs avoid: should AI decisions sit with IT, the business units, legal, or a new central function? Guests compare what is working, where they are blocked, and what their boards are - and aren't - asking about.
Commit to one move.
Before dessert, each guest names one concrete action they will take inside their org next week. The room holds them to it. Optional peer follow-ups after dinner for those who want them.
No slides.No vendor pitches.No recording.Chatham House rule.
