CEOs & C-Suite
Enterprise leaders driving AI transformation across the full organisation — from strategy through to execution and governance.
October 21–22, 2026 · Telekom Academy, Athens, Greece
Two days of AI for executives who already carry the decision — CEOs, C-suite, VPs, founders, operators and investors, and the next generation of AI-driven leaders building alongside them.
AI is no longer a distant frontier — it is the operational core of modern organisations of every scale. Over the past decade, organisations have moved from experimentation to early adoption to the first wave of AI-driven transformation. Today, this transition has revealed a critical gap.
The real challenge lies in embedding AI into the fabric of decision-making, systems, and execution — where executive leadership, founders, operators, and investors meet the operational reality of transformation.
AI leadership will not be defined by technology alone, but by how organisations of every size redesign themselves around it — structurally, operationally, and strategically.
The forum focuses on what truly defines leadership in this new era: how to operationalise AI at scale, govern intelligent systems responsibly, redesign organisations for AI-native execution, and translate capability into sustained competitive advantage.
This is a leadership conference before it is a technology one, closer to the questions tracked by the OECD AI Policy Observatory than to a product demo: AI for CEOs and the people they hold accountable for the results.
Enterprise leaders driving AI transformation across the full organisation — from strategy through to execution and governance.
Startup and scale-up founders building AI-native companies and navigating the operational realities of intelligent product development.
Functional leaders responsible for embedding AI into specific verticals — product, operations, finance, marketing, HR, and beyond.
Capital allocators identifying where AI capability, market timing, and defensible advantage converge to create long-term returns.
Operators scaling AI-driven businesses who need frameworks for execution, not just awareness — from fast-growing SMBs to Series A.
Emerging decision-makers building the skills and networks needed to lead in the intelligence economy over the next decade.
We are entering a new paradigm where competitive advantage is no longer defined by access to AI — but by the ability to execute with it at scale. This is the shift from adoption to execution: from isolated use cases to system-wide intelligence, from pilots to production, from potential to measurable impact. The forum is built to get you there.
Immersive keynotes, panels, and short and long-form sessions across three strategic tracks — Leadership, Economics, and Transformation — showcasing the playbooks leaders are using at the frontier of AI adoption. Leave with frameworks you can put to work on Monday, not abstract predictions.
Hands-on and executive training programs that turn Generative AI and intelligent-systems strategy into real organisational change — operating-model redesign, governance, workforce upskilling, and integration into core systems. Strategy and execution in the same room, not theory on a slide.
Meaningful business connections among senior executives, founders, investors, and industry leaders from 500+ companies across every sector. The relationships, partnerships, and hiring conversations that start here are often worth more than the agenda itself.
Targeted academies and Gen AI bootcamps that take teams and leaders from ambition to execution — RAG to GraphRAG, AI agents & autonomous systems, everyday productivity, and executive leadership. Choose the track that matches your role and walk away with applied, deployable skills.
CEOs, founders, C-suite executives, VPs and investors, with the product, engineering, data and transformation leaders who carry their AI programmes. AI for executives is the frame of the whole event: decisions, budgets and governance, not tooling demos.
No. It is a leadership conference with technical depth available on demand: the main stage stays at decision level, and the four academies go hands-on for the teams who need it.
Yes. The sessions are built around decisions that scale down as well as up — where to start, what to govern first, what to keep in house — and the room is deliberately mixed by company size.
A view of what peers are actually running in production, the governance and talent questions they hit, and a plan you can put in front of your own board.
Yes, and most companies do. One executive on the main stage and the team split across the academies covers both levels in two days.
