For leaders of AI transformation
One event. Five tracks. One AI agenda.
Real AI in action at the UK’s practical AI adoption event.
aiblLIVE London is the UK’s practical AI adoption event for business leaders. If you own the AI agenda across your business, this is your day.
20th October 2026. Central London.
Most AI events are built around talking. This one is built around doing: operator case studies, live demos and hands-on workshops, organised around the five functions where AI is working.
No theory. Just practical examples from organisations already doing it.
Build your own journey across the event
Transformation
The layer that connects every track, so you leave with a framework for making the pieces work together, not five sets of notes.
Explore the hubBuilt for the leaders who own the AI agenda
This is for CEOs, strategy leaders and the executives accountable for AI across the business
You own AI across the business: the CEO, MD or founder setting direction, or the AI leader running it day to day, a Chief AI Officer, Head of AI, or a transformation, digital or data lead. You move across all five pillars, and the strategic thread that connects them is the point of the day: where to invest, what to sequence, and how to prove ROI to the board.

Why aiblLIVE?
The organisations making the biggest gains with AI aren’t talking about the future. They’re showing what works today.
Most AI programmes stall because five functions each run their own pilots and nothing joins up. The strategy layer is the through-line: where to invest first, how to sequence the roadmap, how to govern AI, and how to build the case the board will back.
Every track connects back to the strategy, so you leave with one plan that works together, not five that compete.
Everything is grounded in the State of UK AI Adoption Survey: 755 UK mid-market leaders, in partnership with Executive Summary. 83% hold a board mandate to invest in AI in 2026, and the gap is execution, not intent.
