Leading in the Age of AI: Honest Conversations for Tech Leaders
Most tech leaders aren't short of AI opinions. They're short of honest conversations about what's actually working in reality.
Join CreateFuture for an evening with senior leaders from across the Scottish technology sector who are actively implementing AI inside their organisations - not to talk about the future, but to share what's happening right now. What they're getting right, where they've stumbled, and what they'd do differently.
Your panel
- Lindsay Ratcliffe — Chief Innovation & Transformation Officer, CreateFuture
- Paul Gillespie — Director of Engineering, Skyscanner
- Patty O'Callaghan — Technical Director - Head of AI (Architecture & Engineering Group), Charles River Laboratories
- Stuart Bell — Head of AI & Innovation, M&G
We'll cover the things that don't always make it into the case studies:
- How to spot real AI opportunities - and avoid the expensive distractions
- What it actually takes to make AI stick organisationally, not just technically
- Balancing experimentation with governance and accountability
- Building trust with your teams and customers in a world where AI is making real decisions
This isn't a keynote. It's a conversation - with peers navigating the same pressures, making the same trade-offs, in real time.
