AI Adoption Summit 2026: Leading Change
Hosted by British Chambers of Commerce
Location: IET London Savoy Place, London
Date & Time
Tuesday, Dec 8, 2026 at 09:30 - 15:45
Join Us to Explore AI Adoption From a Leadership Perspective. AI is no longer a technology issue. It’s a leadership issue. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the biggest drivers of productivity, competitiveness and growth.
The opportunities are enormous. But so are the challenges.
The businesses that successfully adopt AI will improve productivity, accelerate innovation and build competitive advantage. Those that fail to adapt risk falling behind.
The British Chambers of Commerce AI Adoption Summit has been designed to help answer that question.
Bringing together senior business leaders, policymakers and technology pioneers, the summit will explore how businesses can move beyond experimentation and drive AI adoption at scale.
Most AI events focus on technology. This summit focuses on leadership.
Designed specifically for CEOs and C-suite executives from medium and large organisations, the event is built around the strategic, organisational and leadership challenges of AI adoption.
Our objective is simple: To help business leaders move from discussion to implementation.
