Explore how organisations are turning unstructured content into secure, AI‑ready context to drive productivity, reduce risk, and accelerate decision‑making. This practical, education‑led day in central London focuses on the frameworks, governance, and real‑world workflows needed to make AI useful across the enterprise — with sessions tailored for executives, IT leaders, and practitioners.
Why attend
- Understand the “AI Context Chasm”: why fragmented, sensitive content limits AI — and how to architect for trusted outcomes.
- Join and hear from industry leaders in the AI space, understanding the monumental value unstructured data holds for unlocking organisations.
- Learn proven patterns for productivity, workflow automation, compliance, and interoperability across your existing stack.
- Leave with actionable next steps: operating models, guardrails, and quick‑win use cases for 2026 planning.
What the event entails
Designed as a learning experience, the program blends thought leadership with hands‑on exploration. Morning sessions unpack the core concepts behind agentic AI for enterprise content, security and privacy requirements, and integration approaches with your existing systems. Afternoon tracks dive into industry workflows for Financial Services and Media & Entertainment, plus horizontal topics such as governance in the era of AI and building AI‑assisted processes. Masterclasses provide guided, practical exposure to AI‑driven insights and knowledge distribution so attendees can evaluate approaches in the context of their own environments.
