THE WORLD'S NO.1 EVENT FOR ENTERPRISE & DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION LEADERS

The age of AI has begun, ushering in a new era of enterprise transformation and innovation. Your role as transformation leaders is becoming even more crucial, to evolve strategies and skillsets to navigate businesses through this new reality, facing unprecedented complexity along the way.
While AI and Generative AI serve as both the driving force and enabler of this transformation, it is crucial to remember that technology itself is not the ultimate goal, nor a silver bullet. As experienced change leaders, we hold the best expertise required to get that balance right, building lasting, people-centric approaches to technology-driven transformation. The answer lies not only in integrating AI into existing transformation approaches but in fundamentally reimagining the way we work and reinventing our business models to be future ready. To meet these challenges head-on, transformative companies and leaders are required to upscale their technology adoption, upskill their workforce and uplift their transformation program to successfully inspire and lead this unprecedented scale of change.

Join us in January for an unparalleled networking and learning opportunity boasting 12 big ideas transformation keynotes, 9 split plenary case studies, 28 practical case studies on 4 most relevant themes, 14 in-depth workshops, 16 revamped interactive discussion groups, 4 industry transformation focus groups, 4 deep-dive masterclasses and the new AI innovation zone - welcome over 100 leaders to drive enterprise transformation in the age of AI.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT SUMMIT
NO LONGER JUST A COST GAMBIT: VALUE REALIZATION THROUGH FOUNDATIONAL PROCESS CAPABILITIES

OPEX is no longer just a cost lever but the engine for true value realization. This dedicated summit brings together thought leaders and top practitioners to share fresh perspectives and, more importantly, practical case studies and strategies you can implement straightaway. This is also a unique place for finding true believers and champions of excellence and continuous improvement, those who live and breathe progress. Don’t hesitate to join us if you are one of them.

CHANGE AND TRANSFORMATION LEADERS’ SUMMIT
HOLISTIC TRANSFORMATION: BUILDING READINESS, CAPABILITY & AGILITY

Transformation is no longer a one-time initiative; it is a permanent leadership mandate that organizations must embed into their strategy and purpose. This summit brings together forward-thinking leaders to explore how transformation is being approached holistically: building change readiness, developing critical capabilities and tackling the real challenges of resource allocation and investment decisions. This is the moment to build transformation muscle - not just for a single program, but for a generation of enterprise change. The leaders in this room are not just participants; they are the architects of a new future.
