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.

Practise designing AI-enabled software systems in this hands-on architecture kata in Newcastle on 14 October 2026. Hosted by Software Crafters Newcastle, this two-hour session offers a safe, practical environment in which to sharpen your architectural thinking. Rather than listening to a conventional talk, you will work through a realistic business problem, explore possible technical approaches and make the kinds of trade-offs that shape real software projects. How the kata works Participants will divide into small groups, with each team receiving a business problem to solve. Your challenge is to design a technical architecture suited to that problem and its context. A Product Owner will be available so that you can clarify requirements as the exercise develops, just as you would when navigating uncertainty on a live project. During the kata, your group will: - Analyse the business problem and identify its architectural needs - Use AI to support research, exploration and design decisions - Compare technologies and weigh up technical trade-offs - Record ideas using the supplied paper, pens and sticky notes - Present your proposed architecture and technology choices - Take part in an open discussion with the wider room Each group will have access to one laptop for using AI during the exercise. If you have your own AI subscription and are happy to use it, the organisers ask that you bring a laptop. The emphasis remains on collaborative reasoning: AI provides assistance, while participants evaluate the context, requirements and consequences of each design choice. Who should attend? The session welcomes experienced developers, software architects, AI engineers and people who are only beginning to explore software architecture. No previous architecture experience is required, and you do not need to have attended an earlier kata. That mix of experience levels gives everyone an opportunity to contribute a perspective, compare approaches and learn from Newcastle’s software crafting community. Practical details The event runs from 6:00pm to 8:00pm BST on Wednesday 14 October 2026 at TusPark Grainger Hub Newcastle, Maybrook House, 27 Grainger Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 5JE.… Register for this event

Learn how to adopt AI without exposing your organisation to avoidable intellectual property, data or financial risks at this practical Gateshead workshop. Taking place on Wednesday 28 October 2026, from 9:30am to 12:30pm, AI: Myths, Risks & Benefits offers a clear-eyed introduction to the potential downsides of artificial intelligence,and the practical measures small organisations can take to protect themselves. The three-hour, in-person session will be held at the Northern Design Centre in Gateshead, within the wider Newcastle area. What the workshop covers AI can create genuine benefits, but organisations may adopt it without fully understanding what happens to their information, content or budget. Rather than relying on hype or technical jargon, this workshop examines common ways AI use can go wrong and what those mistakes could cost. Topics include: - Intellectual property: how businesses can unintentionally hand over valuable ideas or material through everyday use of free AI tools, including services that train on information submitted by users. - Personal information and data exposure: how sensitive information may be revealed, and what that could mean both for your organisation and for the people whose data you hold. - Cost management: why unchecked AI usage can lead to runaway costs and why organisations need to keep an eye on consumption. - Reducing exposure: practical steps that help teams use AI more sensibly while limiting avoidable risks. The emphasis is on helping attendees understand what to watch for before problems arise. By the end of the session, you should have a more grounded view of AI’s risks and benefits, alongside practical ways to approach adoption with greater care. Who should attend? This workshop is designed specifically for small businesses and charities that want to start using AI,or improve how they already use it,without being caught out by hidden consequences. No prior technical knowledge is required, making it suitable for leaders, staff and decision-makers who need an accessible overview rather than a highly technical session. The event is organised by Digital Pathfinders and takes place at Northern Design Centre, Abbott’s Hill, Gateshead NE8 3DF. Register for AI: Myths, Risks & Benefits

Designing with AI starts here This one-day AI × Design conference explores how artificial intelligence is changing the way digital products are designed, built and experienced. Rather than spreading the programme across competing sessions, AiX uses one stage and one track, giving everyone a shared journey through the most important questions facing modern design and product teams. Attendees will hear how practitioners are applying AI in real working environments, discover emerging tools and examine examples of design innovation. The programme centres on two closely connected themes: - Designing AI products: how teams create AI-powered experiences that people can trust and enjoy using - Building with AI: how designers and product teams use AI to move from early ideas towards production more quickly The event is particularly relevant to product designers, design leaders and members of digital product teams who want to understand AI’s practical impact on their craft. It will also appeal to professionals responsible for shaping product experiences, evaluating emerging workflows or helping teams adopt AI thoughtfully. No specific experience level is stated; the emphasis is on industry insight, real-world practice and the changing relationship between AI, design and product development. Speakers announced for 2027 The developing line-up brings together designers and design leaders working across banking, employee benefits, sustainability software and technology products: - Jay Clark, Senior Design Manager at Monzo Bank - Miriam Khenissi, Senior Product Designer at Perkbox - Tom Hiskey, Senior Product Designer at EcoOnline - Stephen Patterson, Principal Product Designer at Deck - Paavan Buddhdev, Product Designer at Granola Further speakers are due to be announced as the 2027 programme is refined.
