    About this event

    AI is moving faster than most governance frameworks can keep up. Boards are being asked to approve tools, sign off on policies and answer questions about data exposure before anyone has agreed what good practice looks like.

    Over a private lunch, Darren Hopkins and Nigel Heyn unpack the risks landing on board agendas right now - and the practical guardrails, including private, Australian-hosted AI, that let your organisation capture the upside without exposing the downside.

    The conversation is off the record and deliberately small, so directors and executives can ask the questions they would rather not raise in a public forum.

    Who should attend
    Board directors, chairs, CEOs, CFOs and other C-suite executives accountable for AI risk.
    Cost
    Complimentary
