What you need to know

We're excited to announce the 2nd edition of the Gen AI Leadership Forum, part of the Disrupt AI Summit Series 2026, taking place on October 21–22, 2026, at OTE Academy in Athens, Greece. This forum sits at a critical inflection point — where leadership is no longer defined by awareness of AI, but by the ability to orchestrate it across organizations of all sizes.

Designed as a high-impact, two-day experience, the agenda brings together executive leaders, founders and operators through curated talks, panels and interactive sessions. Across strategic leadership, governance, talent transformation, agentic systems, cybersecurity and emerging AI economies, the forum offers a comprehensive, executive-level perspective on how organizations evolve — from experimentation to fully intelligent, adaptive systems.

Papers we encourage

We invite submissions that move beyond theory and deliver real-world insight, practical execution and measurable outcomes. Pick the angle that fits your work.

In-Depth Case Studies

Clearly outline the initial challenge, the decision-making process, the execution journey and the measurable business impact achieved.

AI-Led Transformation Workshops

Structured, implementation-focused sessions that always carry a clear, actionable methodology leaders can take home.

Measurable Business Outcomes

Demonstrate tangible impact through clear metrics — revenue growth, efficiency gains, churn reduction, better forecasting — and include reusable assets: dashboards, architectures, code, playbooks.

Strategic Relevance & Leadership Insight

Insight that informs leadership, not just implementation — including lessons learned from scaling beyond early-stage pilots.

Real-World Execution & Operational Depth

Concrete implementation detail — tools, architectures, workflows — plus honest reflection on the challenges, trade-offs and what didn't work.

Cross-Functional Impact

Collaboration across business, product, engineering and leadership, with measurable impact spanning multiple functions.

Agentic AI & Advanced Systems

Forward-looking, production-grade applications of agentic AI: autonomous workflows, decision systems and evolving models of human–AI collaboration.

Governance, Risk & Responsible AI

Governance frameworks in action, with grounded approaches to risk, compliance and ethical decision-making.

Innovation with Business Impact

Innovation clearly connected to tangible business value — not novelty for its own sake.
