Where do organisations really stand with AI?

AI intent is high across EMEA. Turning that intent into defensible value is harder.

The blockers aren’t technological: fragmented data, system complexity, unclear ownership, and operating models not built for AI at scale. In EMEA, trust, accountability, and regulation raise the stakes — and expose weak foundations faster.

Talking Trends builds on Trends 2026, focusing on how global AI trends translate into practical decisions for EMEA leaders and their teams.

Join this two-part session to explore where initiatives stall — and how leaders and practitioners are navigating these trade-offs together.

This session focuses on:

  • How AI trends translate into practical execution
  • Where progress stalls after early success
  • How organisations balance innovation with trust
  • What needs revisiting as AI scales

Registering for TalkIng Trends gives you access to the content related to Trends 2026, including the associated companion guide.
