Responsible AI Summit 2026

Responsible AI Summit 2026 brings enterprise AI leaders to London on 21–23 September to turn governance and regulation into practice. Held at Hilton London Syon Park, this closed-door gathering focuses on managing the risks of increasingly autonomous AI while enabling organisations to innovate at scale. The summit moves beyond theory and hype, giving peers responsible for production AI a setting in which to discuss operational challenges openly across governance, data, security, risk, workforce and business transformation. ## What the programme covers The main summit takes place on 21–22 September, followed by a workshop day and focus day on 23 September. Across the three-day programme, attendees will explore: - Governance for autonomous and agent-based systems, including where accountability sits - Turning regulation,including the EU AI Act,into workable operating models across teams - Using responsible AI to support enterprise innovation at scale - Rethinking human oversight as AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows - Reducing financial risk and protecting brands through responsible AI practices - Connecting governance, compliance and risk management with technical and business priorities The event is designed for enterprise decision-makers working across AI governance, responsible AI, data, privacy, security, legal, technology, product and transformation. Its emphasis on organisations already running AI in production makes it particularly relevant to senior leaders responsible for moving from principles and policies to repeatable operating models. ## Enterprise perspectives from the front line The speaker line-up brings together governance, technical and commercial experience. Confirmed contributors include Oliver Patel, Head of Enterprise AI Governance at AstraZeneca; Hellen Beveridge, Head of AI Governance & Ethics at AXA UK; David Crelley, Head of Responsible AI and Data at Admiral Group; Rebecca Salsbury, Chief Product and Technology Officer at the Financial Times; and Siân Townson, Head of AI and Data Science at Heathrow.… Register for this event
