Executive Summit

In a world defined by uncertainty, the value of truth has never been higher; or more under siege. Organisations aren’t just battling “fake news” anymore; they’re up against weaponised narrative attacks. The challenge is no longer just defending the brand, but safeguarding the foundations of decision-making. In this new era, Technology Leaders are well positioned to lead the C-Suite forward, urging them to take true ownership of organisational trust, making it a strategic asset.

Join this session from Dave Aron, Gartner Research Fellow, to learn how you can:

• Understand the emergence of disinformation, and insulate your organisation from harm, inefficiency, and distrust
• Establish proactive monitoring systems, and ensure information integrity
• Draw from practical examples to leverage the unforeseen threats of AI, and strengthen the efficacy of the board

As generative AI and browser-based tools reshape the workplace, Nordic CIOs and CISOs must balance innovation with robust governance and security. The rise of “Shadow AI” and unapproved applications creates risks like data leakage and policy gaps, making proactive strategies essential. This session will explore practical approaches for regaining control, aligning AI adoption with compliance standards, and enabling safe, effective solutions for end users.

Join this session to learn more on:

• Risks from unmanaged and shadow tools, including end-user practices
• Policies for safe adoption and safeguarding sensitive data
• Strategies for enabling and adopting the modern platform

In today’s fast paced environment, long term projects can feel like never-ending stories. But with the right leadership, communication, and focus, every project, team, and stakeholder can be aligned with a shared digital purpose. And, even with groundbreaking successes, there are always lessons for the future. 

Join Sara Björk, CIO, Nobia, for this session discussing the development of the most advanced automated and digitalised kitchen factories in Europe to explore:

• Balancing change with long term projects to achieve excellence
• Establishing accountability within and across teams, ensuring project milestones are met and value is delivered
• Deepening the IT-Business partnership to extract the real value presented by digital innovation

As organisations accelerate analytics and AI adoption, reliable data and automated workflows become the foundation for agility and risk control. Forward-thinking leaders are moving beyond reactive monitoring to achieve end-to-end visibility across the data lifecycle, embedding governance-driven accountability and intelligent automation with built-in guardrails to scale secure, decision-ready data operations.

Join this session to:

• Explore strategies to build trusted, enterprise-scale data workflows
• Discuss how to achieve proactive, end-to-end visibility across modern data ecosystems
• Identify actionable ways to embed automation into your workflows

With new cybersecurity regulations and rising expectations for data protection, CISOs must now translate technical risks into business priorities and ensure boards can make informed decisions. Security leaders are expected to foster shared accountability and align security with organisational goals.

Join this session to explore:

• Identifying the best metrics to communicate risk and business impact
• Positioning security initiatives within core organisational goals
• Navigating the complexities of new Nordic regulations and turn them into opportunities for strategic advantage

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

As organisations accelerate digital transformation and cloud adoption, IT and security leaders face a new paradox: how to unlock the agility and efficiency of hybrid and multi-cloud environments while maintaining uncompromised data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and cyber resilience.

Join this session/boardroom to discuss:

• Addressing the heightened security focus of the board in the wake of regulatory changes
• Building a resilience strategy that allows for innovation, whilst keeping up with the expanding threat landscape and data protection threats
• Strategies to eliminate blind spots and ensure continuous discovery, classification, and protection of critical data (structured and unstructured)

As AI investment surges, organisations find themselves caught between ambitious pilots and the challenge of scaling to production. The barriers to progress are less about technology and more about business dilemmas, organisational readiness, and the pace of change that renders traditional planning obsolete.

Join this session to learn:

• How to empower and lead an AI-enabled workforce amid competing priorities and organisational change
• Practical strategies for embracing the AI development lifecycle and overcoming non-technical barriers
• Approaches to measure, prove, and maximise AI ROI for business impact

As AI adoption advances, Nordic security and technology leaders are challenged to ensure that these innovations enhance security without introducing new risks. In a landscape shaped by strict data privacy standards and a culture of digital innovation, CIOs and CISOs must ask: How can we assess the real-world impact of AI on our cybersecurity strategy?

Join this session to discuss:

• Setting clear goals and aligning AI initiatives with risk reduction and compliance
• Methods for monitoring and minimising data exposure incidents related to GenAI
• Improving supply chain visibility to identify hidden AI in third-party and internal tools for compliance and security

AI agents are now powerful, autonomous actors within enterprise networks—often holding more access and less oversight than human users. For CIOs and CISOs, this is a pivotal moment: identity is no longer a supporting role, but the centerpiece of security strategy. As machine-to-machine interactions accelerate, so does the risk of identity exposure and unchecked access across your environment.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Governance gaps for non-human identities and AI agents 
• The urgent need to unify visibility and controls across fragmented tools 
• How adaptive identity management can enable trust at the speed of innovation
