About this Event
AI has moved quickly from experimentation to an executive priority. But for many organisations, the real challenge is no longer understanding what AI can do. It is knowing how to adopt it responsibly, govern it effectively and turn investment into measurable enterprise value.
AI Summit 2026 brings the opportunity to connect with peers from across sectors and set the stage for the day ahead, and to explore what responsible AI adoption looks like in practice.
Hosted by Mazik Global UK, Microsoft and Cloud & Clear, the summit will bring together industry perspectives, real-world experiences and practical approaches to help organisations move from AI ambition to confident execution.
From governance and data readiness to Copilot, AI agents and enterprise adoption, the day will focus on the decisions leaders need to make now to build AI that is trusted, scalable and valuable.
The question is no longer whether AI will transform your organisation.
It is how responsibly and effectively you turn that transformation into value.
Due to limited capacity, registrations are subject to approval. Registrations will be reviewed to ensure the event audience aligns with the intended executive-level discussion.
