#shifthappens Executive Summit
The Brewery, London | Thursday, 8 October, 2026
AI adoption creates opportunity. Cyber resilience protects the right to pursue it. Frontier leaders do both!
#shifthappens: The Frontier Leadership Summit brings together executive leaders to focus on what actually matters: scaling AI with trust, governing data responsibly, and building cyber resilience to lead through disruption.
Move beyond pilots and hype to the shift that matters: from AI experimentation to trusted, enterprise-scale impact. In a world where pilots stall and risk accelerates, this is where leadership decisions become action, and ambition turns into secure, resilient outcomes at scale.
Register now to join the leaders shaping what’s next.
Taking centre stage at #shifthappens London 2026, Olympic Gold Medallist and Chair of Sport England, Chris Boardman, brings a fresh, battle-tested lens to enterprise transformation.
Chris will break down his practical Problem, Prize, and Pathway framework to show technology and security executives how to:
- Make the opportunity personal so users voluntarily adopt change.
- Create safe spaces for experimentation while managing enterprise risk.
- Turn high-level digital strategy into a clear, non-negotiable route forward.
