Held at Hilton London Syon Park, this closed-door gathering focuses on managing the risks of increasingly autonomous AI while enabling organisations to innovate at scale. The summit moves beyond theory and hype, giving peers responsible for production AI a setting in which to discuss operational challenges openly across governance, data, security, risk, workforce and business transformation.

Across the three-day programme, attendees will explore: - Governance for autonomous and agent-based systems, including where accountability sits - Turning regulation,including the EU AI Act,into workable operating models across teams - Using responsible AI to support enterprise innovation at scale - Rethinking human oversight as AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows - Reducing financial risk and protecting brands through responsible AI practices - Connecting governance, compliance and risk management with technical and business priorities The event is designed for enterprise decision-makers working across AI governance, responsible AI, data, privacy, security, legal, technology, product and transformation. Its emphasis on organisations already running AI in production makes it particularly relevant to senior leaders responsible for moving from principles and policies to repeatable operating models.

Hosted by Faran K.

Turn your first AI agent into a connected, time-saving system at this practical workshop in Oadby, Leicester, on 24 September 2026. If you already have a working AI agent but want it to handle more useful tasks, this two-hour session will help you move beyond the initial build. Hosted by Faran K. for Leicester Tech Meetup, the workshop focuses on adding capabilities, connecting external services and creating automations that reduce everyday busywork. What you’ll work on This is a hands-on workshop, not a high-level introduction to AI. You’ll work directly with your existing agent and learn how to: - Add new skills to an agent you have already built - Connect external services and tools - Set up practical automations that save time - Diagnose and troubleshoot common problems - Decide which tasks and workflows to automate next The aim is to leave with more than ideas. By the end of the session, you should have a more capable and better-connected agent, working automations, and a clear plan for the next stage of your setup. Who should attend? This workshop is designed for people who have already created their first AI agent and are ready to expand what it can do. It will be particularly relevant to business owners, high-performing individuals and anyone who wants to turn an early agent experiment into a more useful part of their day-to-day work. Because the session builds on an existing setup, it is not positioned as a first-time agent-building class. You’ll get the most from the workshop if you arrive with an agent that you can access, test and modify during the two hours. What to bring Bring the following so you can take part fully: - Your existing AI agent - A laptop - A payment card in case you choose to use additional services The event runs from 5:00pm to 7:00pm BST on Thursday 24 September 2026 at 42 London Road, Oadby, Leicester, LE2 5DH. Its practical format gives you dedicated time to improve your setup, solve issues as they arise and identify valuable automation opportunities rather than leaving with theory alone.
