AI is moving fast. Your oversight needs to move faster.
AI is now shaping how companies make decisions, serve customers, manage risk, allocate capital, evaluate deals, defend against threats and redesign work. For public company directors and large enterprise CEOs, the challenge is no longer simply understanding AI. It is knowing what effective governance looks like as AI moves from experimentation into core operations.
The AI Leadership Forum brings public company directors and CEOs together for a highly interactive, one-day working session focused on the oversight questions companies are confronting now: where AI is creating value, where it is introducing risk, how fast the organization should move and what boards need from management to govern with confidence.
This is not a sit-and-listen conference. Throughout the day, you’ll hear from enterprise leaders, AI experts and experienced directors, then move into table discussions, simulations and small-group workshops designed to help you apply the ideas to your own boardroom.
Step into a boardroom simulation where AI decisions trigger operational, ethical and reputational consequences.
Examine how companies are moving beyond pilots, where ROI is showing up and where weak governance can quietly destroy value.
Work through practical questions around risk classification, data integrity, monitoring, human oversight and documentation.
See how oversight shifts when AI systems begin initiating actions, interacting with other systems and operating at machine speed.
Talk through the issues in small groups with leaders facing similar questions around growth, risk, workforce impact, cyber exposure and board structure.
Take back a clearer view of what boards should expect from management as AI becomes embedded across the enterprise.
This session sets the tone for the day by engaging directors and CEOs in a shared leadership conversation about how organizations govern AI as it accelerates from experimentation to enterprise impact.
This highly interactive session will help directors and CEOs pinpoint where AI is creating—or quietly eroding—value faster than boards expect.
AI systems are shifting from tools that support human work to agents that initiate actions, make decisions, and coordinate across systems. Some already operate at speeds and levels of autonomy that sit outside traditional management and review processes.
In this 45-minute immersive, high-pressure simulation, attendees will step directly into a boardroom confronting an unfolding AI incident—one with real operational, ethical, and reputational consequences.
AI regulation—both in the U.S. and abroad—is collapsing the distance between “we’re monitoring this” and actual board liability.
As AI systems begin to initiate actions, interact with other systems, and adapt in real time, boards face a new oversight challenge: governing decision-making that occurs at machine speed, beyond traditional review cycles.
What does it take to build AI at scale inside a complex, global enterprise? In this closing fireside conversation, we’ll sit down with a senior leader from a global organization that has successfully integrated AI across its business—from customer experience and operations to risk management and governance.
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.
