You’re invited to enjoy a luxurious three-course dinner alongside fine wines and insight; courtesy of Chief Wine Officer, IBM & Palo Alto Networks. You’ll meet your fellow IT and security leaders including Palo Alto Networks’ CSO, Jesper Olsen, for a confidential, Chatham House rules discussion of AI-enhanced security and governance for accelerated innovation. Meanwhile, your evening will be complemented by a guided wine tasting from Master of Wine, Cees van Casteren. Can we book you a seat at the table?
85% of CIOs cite security as a top concern and a blocker for enterprise AI rollout. With emerging tech defining the present and future of the industry, organisations around the world are scrambling to secure AI investments in order to compete at the highest levels.

At this event, you’ll unpack everything you need to know, including practical tips for AI governance, implementation, and trust building.
