AI is moving fast. Your oversight needs to move faster.
As AI reshapes every industry, the question for public company directors and CEOs is no longer whether it matters but how fast their organizations can move while still protecting the trust that underpins long-term value.
The 2026 AI Leadership Forum will bring together large enterprise board members, CEOs, and leading experts for a highly interactive, one-day program designed to sharpen strategic judgment and accelerate enterprise readiness.
Through immersive simulations, hands-on workshops, expert panels, and rapid-fire AI startup showcases, participants will pressure-test decisions, debate tradeoffs, and leave with practical frameworks you can use immediately—board dashboards, strategic bet maps, workforce readiness plans, and governance prompts that will elevate your oversight.
This is not a conference where you are in “listen only” mode. It’s an impactful working session for the directors and CEOs responsible for navigating the tension between speed and stewardship—and ensuring their organizations are ready to compete in the AI-accelerated economy.
Real-life simulations that surface the consequences of AI missteps, governance gaps and trust failures.
Panels and peer discussions that translate insight into board-level action.
Tackle AI governance, growth strategy and workforce transformation with tools you can use right away.
AI Interstitials that show how startups are collapsing cost structures and redefining competition.
A focused briefing on enforcement trends and global standards shaping board liability in 2026.
Real-world lessons in innovation, culture, risk and governance from large-scale transformation.

This highly interactive session will help directors and CEOs pinpoint where AI is creating—or quietly eroding—value faster than boards expect.
As AI moves from pilots into core operations, boards must oversee not just where it creates value, but where it introduces risk.
As AI evolves into agentic systems, boards face a step-change in governance. Systems are no longer just informing decisions, they are initiating and executing them.
AI regulation—both in the U.S. and abroad—is collapsing the distance between “we’re monitoring this” and actual board liability.
In this live demonstration, KYP.ai will show how AI can move beyond pilots and into real operational impact—by starting with a simple but often overlooked question: how does work actually get done inside your organization?
AI is reshaping the world. The choices companies make today will determine whether they shape this next era—or are upended by it.
Attendees select from concurrent workshops designed for deeper, application-focused learning in smaller groups. Topics include: AI in M&A, Agentic AI as Strategy, Overseeing the Next Phase of Work, and more.
To ensure a high-quality experience, attendance is limited. To secure your spot and preferred workshop session, we recommend registering early.
The event will be hosted at the offices of Latham & Watkins, 505 Montgomery Street, Suite 2000, San Francisco, CA.
