AWS AI in Practice #6

⌖ Nottingham · Fothergill House

Hosted by DevOps Notts

Explore architecture governance for AI coding agents at Fothergill House in Nottingham on 27 October 2026, from 6–8pm GMT. This DevOps Notts talk presents a financial-services approach to moving governance earlier in the software development process. Rather than relying solely on architecture review boards, deployment failures and late-stage guardrails, the session will show how governance can become part of an AI agent’s reasoning. You’ll learn how an agent can read real policy documents, explain applicable requirements in plain English while a developer is still describing a system, and identify constraints before any Terraform is created. The talk also covers mirroring those policies in OPA/Rego rules, allowing the agent to check its own proposed design before presenting it and enabling CI to verify changes made by hand. The event is particularly relevant to DevOps practitioners, software engineers, architects and teams working with AI-assisted development in regulated environments. No speaker biography or experience-level requirement has been published. Agenda - 18:00: Doors open - 18:30: Talk begins - 19:15: Pizza and catch-up - 20:00: Doors close Hosted by Mica B. for DevOps Notts at CGI Fothergill House, 16 King Street, Nottingham NG1 2AS.

⌖ Singapore · Grand Hyatt Singapore

Hosted by Economist Enterprise

AI Innovation Asia brings senior business and government leaders to Singapore on 26 November 2026 to turn AI investment into measurable business value. Closing the AI value gap Held at the Grand Hyatt Singapore, this third annual conference from Economist Enterprise focuses on one of the most urgent questions facing organisations: why do some companies generate tangible returns from AI while others spend millions without moving beyond experimentation? The programme moves past hype to examine how leading organisations are implementing AI in practice. Through independent, editorial-led discussions, executive panels and real-world case studies, attendees will explore what it takes to convert investment into operational improvements, growth and durable competitive advantage. Key themes include: - Moving successful AI pilots into organisation-wide deployment - Measuring business value and tangible return on investment - Redesigning organisations, workflows and decision-making for AI - Avoiding costly implementation failures - Identifying where chief executives are directing their AI budgets for 2027 - Learning from organisations already putting AI to work across Asian markets Hear from leaders making AI pay The announced line-up combines editorial perspective with senior operational and technology experience. Tom Standage, deputy editor of The Economist and editor of The World Ahead, brings a long-standing focus on technology’s business, cultural and historical significance. He is joined by Binu Jacob, chairman and chief executive of Nestlé Vietnam, whose career spans almost three decades of FMCG leadership across Asia, Europe and the US. Other featured leaders include Rahil Ansari, chairman and chief executive of Volkswagen Group Taiwan, drawing on more than two decades in the automotive industry, and Simon See, chief solution architect and global head of the NVIDIA AI Technology Centre and AI Nation at NVIDIA.

⌖ London

Hosted by UKAI

Explore how organisations can demonstrate trustworthy AI in practice at UKAI’s free, invite-only report launch in Central London on 29 October 2026. From AI principles to practical trust Taking place from 6pm to 8.30pm GMT in Central London, this VIP drinks reception marks the release of Trustworthy AI: From Principles to Practice, A Framework for Innovation, Accountability and Adoption. The report has been produced by UKAI in partnership with Capgemini and shaped by a roundtable of senior leaders spanning financial services, legal, data and compliance. Rather than focusing only on AI regulation, it examines a wider and increasingly important question: what makes AI trustworthy, and how can organisations demonstrate that trust in practice? Attendees will receive an early look at the report’s findings and hear from contributors involved in its development. The evening will explore the intersection of responsible innovation, accountability and AI adoption, offering useful context for organisations seeking to turn high-level trust principles into credible working practices. What to expect - A first look at findings from the new UKAI and Capgemini report - Insights from contributors who helped shape the work - Drinks and informal networking in a Central London setting - Opportunities to meet UKAI members and professionals advancing the AI trust agenda - Discussion around AI governance, adoption, innovation and accountability This is a reception and report launch rather than a hands-on workshop. Its informal format is designed to support conversation and relationship-building among people dealing with the practical and strategic implications of trustworthy AI. The event is particularly relevant to senior leaders, AI governance and compliance professionals, legal and data specialists, financial services practitioners, innovators, and decision-makers responsible for adopting AI within organisations. It will also appeal to UKAI members and report contributors who want to connect with peers working at the frontier of responsible AI. View the event and registration details
