Scaling Enterprise Transformation and AI
with People at the Core
3 - 5 November 2026
| Amsterdam Marriott Hotel
SCALING AI-LED BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION WITH PEOPLE AT THE CORE
AI is now a top C‑suite priority, but ownership, governance, and execution remain fragmented. The result? Ambition without scale.
The Business Transformation Europe Summit brings transformation leaders together to solve the real challenge: aligning AI, people, process, and governance into one executable strategy that scales. Cut through the AI noise. Learn how to move beyond pilots and lead transformation that delivers measurable value, from boardroom to frontline.

Two Events,
One Ticket
In 2026, we are co-locating the Business Transformation Summit with the Agentic Transformation Summit. This reflects a critical reality facing enterprises today - while Agentic AI represents one of the most powerful AI developments in recent years, success will not be determined by technological ability, but the ability for enterprises to align this with business strategy.
By co-locating these events and bringing together those driving agentic AI development with the transformation leaders responsible for evaluation, governance, rollout, and adoption, we create a unique environment for bridging ambition with execution, and wider business acceptance.
Attendees will have access to both conferences each with its own dedicated programme alongside a shared networking zone to maximise connections. The two audiences will also come together on the afternoon of Day 2 for high-impact discussions between CAIOs and Chief Transformation Officers.
The Business Transformation Europe Summit Will Help You To:
Enhance transformation leadership capability by challenging existing assumptions and learning what must change in 2026 and beyond.
Ensure better transformation and AI success rate by understanding the right balance of bottom-up and top-down initiatives, enabling people to drive change.
Improve transformation value realisation through the link between strategy, execution, and accountability end-to-end.
Accelerate transformation delivery by discovering how organisations design operating models that integrate people, process, AI, and data.
Move beyond fragmented AI pilots by understanding how transformation leaders are building enterprise wide strategies that actually scale.
