QonfX London 2026

⌖ London · South Place Hotel

Hosted by Corinium Intelligence

A private London dinner for senior data, AI, technology and security leaders exploring secure runtime data controls for enterprise AI agents on 13 October 2026. Hosted by Skyflow and organised by Corinium Intelligence, The Secure AI Paradigm brings a select group of 10–15 executives to South Place Hotel in London. The focus is a critical production challenge: giving autonomous AI systems the information they need while retaining control over how sensitive data is accessed, processed and revealed. What the roundtable will explore As AI agents begin retrieving information, calling tools and taking action independently, static permissions and conventional security boundaries may no longer provide sufficient protection. This closed-door conversation will examine practical ways to embed privacy, governance and least-privilege access directly into enterprise AI architecture. Discussion points include: - Deciding which sensitive data an AI agent genuinely needs - Applying dynamic, policy-driven controls based on identity, agent, task and context - Protecting data as it moves through RAG systems, models, APIs and tools - Managing agent-to-tool and agent-to-agent connections - Protecting PII without stripping away the context AI needs to perform effectively - Translating security, privacy and regulatory requirements into enforceable technical controls - Identifying where existing access controls fall short for autonomous workflows The group will also consider what must change when an agent can independently retrieve information and act, and what safeguards would give enterprises confidence to scale agents across sensitive workflows. Roundtable hosts The discussion will be hosted by Javier Morao, EMEA Head of Data & AI at Citi, who leads data commercialisation across more than 50 countries and has over 15 years of experience in data, analytics and transformation within global financial services. He is joined by Roshmik Saha, Co-founder and CTO of Skyflow, a technologist with more than 15 years of experience building secure, scalable platforms. His background spans Microsoft and leadership of Lyft’s self-driving car infrastructure. View the event and registration details

Hosted by London Agentics Foundation Meetups

Explore agentic engineering with Reuven Cohen (rUv) in London on 15 October 2026, with live collaboration and online streaming. This special Agentics Foundation London Chapter meetup examines a new generation of systems that can remember, coordinate, learn, perceive and act across software, enterprise infrastructure and the physical world. Running from 6:00pm to 9:00pm BST, the hybrid event offers an opportunity to learn directly from a pioneer in agentic AI while connecting with builders working on autonomous, proactive systems. The power of the Agentics ecosystem Reuven Cohen (rUv), creator of the Agentics Foundation and CAIO of Cognitum One, will introduce the ideas, infrastructure and community behind the ecosystem. According to the organisers, its open-source software has reached more than 51 million total downloads, with over 74 million npm package downloads during the past 12 months. Tools including the ruFlo agent harness and RuView spatial intelligence have accumulated more than 180,000 GitHub stars, while the frameworks support over 362,000 monthly active installations. The session will draw on Cohen’s experience across cloud computing, enterprise AI and edge-native systems. His work includes: - Building Cognitum One, a sovereign, edge-native operating platform designed to orchestrate Physical AI without cloud dependency - Founding cloud computing pioneer Enomaly, which went on to a $1.2B+ exit - Serving as Chief Cloud Advocate at Citrix - Architecting EY.ai, an enterprise AI platform used by more than 400,000 people - Coining the title “Agentic Engineer” for developers building proactive, autonomous systems Build, share and collaborate This is more than a conventional talk. The series creates a constructive setting for members to showcase projects, pair on demos, prototypes or code snippets, and collaborate live with other builders. It also brings the Foundation’s wider online community together with its London chapter, helping attendees exchange practical knowledge and co-create new ideas.
