Hosted by Posterity Global

Explore practical ways to procure, contract and manage AI systems at this free, participant-led unconference in Cardiff on 5 November 2026. Hosted by Posterity Global, this in-person event brings together commercial, technical, legal and operational decision-makers to tackle the fast-changing challenges surrounding AI products and services. Rather than following a fixed programme, attendees will create the agenda on the day, ensuring conversations focus on the real issues participants face in their organisations. What will be discussed? The unconference is designed as a cross-sector “big tent” gathering, with anticipated themes including: - Shifting from spending to investing: moving beyond rigid, transactional procurement and developing more dynamic commercial frameworks for rapidly evolving AI systems. - Evaluating hype versus reality: assessing vendor claims against genuine user needs while considering legacy infrastructure, data quality and risk constraints. - Contracting, risk and exit: creating agile contracts that support experimentation while addressing continuous model updates, data security, supplier lock-in and exit strategies from the outset. - Building capability and confidence: helping commercial and technical teams define problems, assess AI bids, govern supplier performance and evaluate whether AI delivers measurable improvements and public value. Because the agenda is participant-led, these themes provide a starting point rather than a prescribed schedule. Attendees can propose questions, share experiences and help develop practical approaches to emerging procurement and contract-management challenges. Those new to the format can read this guide to attending an unconference or watch the organiser’s recommended introductory video. The 2025 event insights also offer useful background.
