The Exponential Enterprise in the Age of AI: Executive Awake Session

Gallagher Convention Centre
ABOUT
Reserve your seat for The Exponential Enterprise in the Age of AI: Executive Awake Roundtable — a curated executive roundtable for leaders who need to understand what rapid change and the age of AI now demand from their organisation, and how to respond with clarity, alignment and action.
Rapid change and the age of AI are already reshaping how organisations compete, operate, serve customers and create value.
The question is not whether AI matters.
The question is whether your leadership team has a clear, shared response to what is changing — and what the organisation needs to prioritise next.
This is not a technical AI workshop, product demo, vendor pitch, tool-training session or passive conference.
AI is the context. The leadership response is the issue.
The real risk is not AI itself. The risk is a disconnected organisational response: fragmented initiatives, unclear priorities, slow decisions, duplicated effort and missed opportunities.
This guided executive roundtable creates space for senior leaders to step back from the noise, build shared context, explore where value and risk may emerge, and leave with a clearer view of what should be prioritised, protected, explored or accelerated.
The session is designed to help leaders translate awareness into application and action.
The full event context, speaker profiles and programme details are available on the ExoFutures event landing page.

Reduced executive rates are available until 30 June 2026, subject to seat availability.
WHY ATTEND
Many organisations are already responding to rapid change and the age of AI.
The challenge is that activity does not always create strategic progress.
Different teams may be working in different directions. Priorities may be unclear. Investment may be fragmented. Leaders may not yet have a shared view of what should happen next.
This roundtable helps senior leaders step back and ask the more important questions:
- What is changing, and why does it matter now?
- Where might our organisation be exposed?
- Where could value, risk or opportunity emerge?
- Which decisions cannot be delayed?
- What should we prioritise, protect, explore or accelerate?
- How do we respond without destabilising the core business?
- Who needs to be aligned before activity scales?
The value is not another presentation.
The value is a curated executive room where leaders can build shared language, sharper focus and stronger decision confidence.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This roundtable is designed for senior decision-makers responsible for strategic response, organisational alignment and future-ready growth.
It is especially relevant for:
- CEOs, MDs, GMs and executive directors
- COOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs and CHROs
- Strategy, transformation, growth and innovation leaders
- Technology, data, AI and digital leaders
- Operations, people and change leaders
- Board-level influencers and senior decision-makers
This is best suited to leaders who need to make sense of rapid change, align leadership attention and guide the organisation toward clearer priorities and action.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is a guided executive roundtable, not a sequence of passive presentations.
The afternoon is structured around three practical outcomes:
Awareness
Understand the speed and scale of change, and what the age of AI means for your industry, organisation and leadership agenda.
Application
Identify where value, risk and opportunity may emerge across operations, decision-making, productivity, business models, customer value and growth.
Action
Clarify what leaders need to prioritise, what to explore, who to align and which decision needs to be made next.
You will engage with short expert inputs, structured reflection, peer dialogue and decision-focused prompts designed for senior leaders.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ROOM
The session is designed for clarity and executive dialogue, not in-room selling.
You can expect a structured executive conversation around:
Reality
What rapid change and the age of AI are already changing across enterprise value, competition and organisational design.
Urgency
Where the organisation may face pressure, risk, value creation or new opportunity.
Choices
What should be prioritised, protected, explored, stopped or accelerated.
Safe response
How leaders can respond without destabilising current operations.
Decision clarity
Where leadership focus, alignment and action should go next.
LEADERSHIP TEAM ALIGNMENT
One executive gets insight.
A leadership team gets alignment.
This roundtable is valuable for individual senior leaders, but stronger when two or more leaders attend from the same organisation.
The reason is simple: the session creates shared language, shared context and clearer decision focus across strategy, technology, operations, people and transformation.
For organisations sending a leadership group, invoice and group booking support is available.
Group booking offer: Book 5 executive seats and pay for 4.
