With a growing and highly engaged CIONET community of CIOs, CDOs, CISOs and Digital Leaders already taking shape in Switzerland, we are bringing together a select group of digital leaders for an intimate evening of peer exchange, practical insights and networking.

And there is no more relevant moment for it.

As AI accelerates across the enterprise, one question is becoming impossible to ignore:
Are you in control of the AI agenda — or is it controlling you?

In many organisations, AI is moving faster than governance, faster than operating models, and often faster than strategic ownership. New use cases are emerging across every function — but without the right leadership, structure and priorities, AI risks becoming fragmented, reactive and difficult to scale.

For today’s digital leaders, the challenge is no longer simply to explore AI - but to lead it — with IT at the centre of enterprise readiness, business value and responsible execution.

Across three core chapters, this event is designed as a practical leadership playbook for exactly that challenge. We will explore:

• Play 01: Taming AI

  Use cases on how to bring AI into the enterprise operating model and scale adoption at speed across the enterprise

• Play 02: Securing AI

  How leaders govern AI securely — and bring its risks into the boardroom before they become incidents

• Play 03: Preserving AI Sovereignty

  A panel discussion on how organisations scale AI while maintaining trust, autonomy and strategic control

An Evening in Two Acts

This event combines focused executive dialogue with the relaxed atmosphere of a CIONET community evening.

We will begin with the formal programme at Google Zurich, bringing together Digital Leaders for practical insights, discussion and peer exchange.

At 19:30, we will continue the evening at NAPA GRILL — with a three-course dinner, great wines and plenty of time for informal conversations and networking.

Because some of the most valuable conversations happen after the presentations are over.

Join us for the launch of the first CIONET Switzerland Community Event — with no pitch presentations, no product showcases and no vendor theatre. Just a focused exchange amongst peers on what it takes to lead AI properly in an increasingly complex enterprise environment.

Who Should Attend

This roundtable is designed for CIO, CDO, CISO as well as Senior IT, Security & Digital Leaders from user companies.

Participation is limited to ensure an open and focused discussion.
