The AI Agenda 2026 brings together business leaders, innovators and legal experts to explore the real-world challenges and opportunities of AI adoption. Through a mix of strategic and specialist sessions, we'll examine the governance, legal, commercial and workforce considerations shaping the next phase of AI implementation.
What’s on the AI Agenda?
- Agentic AI and new frontiers - This panel explores how organisations are embedding agentic AI into their operations and reshaping the relationship between people and technology. It will examine emerging use cases, the legal and governance challenges, impacts on operating models and how AI agents can create productivity gains, strategic differentiation and long-term competitive advantage across organisations and sectors.
- Litigation in the age of AI - This session will explore the practical risks, strategic opportunities and tactical considerations now confronting disputes teams, judges and clients as AI becomes a key feature of modern litigation.
- AI in advertising: creativity, compliance, commercial risk - In this session, we’ll look at how AI is reshaping the way ads are created, targeted and personalised, and where legal risks arise. We’ll examine the key regulatory frameworks and how they apply to AI-driven claims and practices and practical issues for contracts, IP ownership, and liability when using generative AI in campaigns.
- Procurement and vendor assurance: getting AI buying decisions right - A practical session where we will explore the key questions to consider when procuring a new AI solution, how to evaluate AI tools, test vendor claims and allocate liability through contracts and controls, helping organisations make confident buying decisions while managing legal, operational, commercial, and reputational risk.
- Governance, regulation and responsible adoption - This session cuts through the noise to give senior leaders and in-house legal teams a clear picture of where regulation stands today, what's coming next and what responsible adoption actually looks like in practice.
- Legal Tech in practice - A practical look at legal tech in action, grounded in real use cases, testing approaches and lessons learned. We’ll explore how organisations are evaluating and implementing tools, how AI is being used alongside human expertise, and what we’re seeing in practice.
- IP and AI: when innovation becomes infringement - Explore the legal risks when AI use crosses the line into infringement - covering copyright ownership of AI outputs, data provenance pitfalls, and practical guidance for businesses who use AI-generated content.
- Managing AI risk in the workplace - How can you safeguard confidential information in the age of AI? Using a practical case study, we’ll explore responding to data misuse, investigating employee activity and preserving evidence. We’ll also outline key steps employers can take to manage these evolving risks.
- Leadership and culture for an AI-led transformation - This panel will explore what AI-driven transformation means for leadership, culture and judgement at senior levels. From workforce readiness and shifting client expectations to trust, professional identity and accountability, we will consider how organisations can build confidence, develop capability and lead change responsibly in an AI-enabled world.
