About
The modern CIO faces a critical paradox: you are under pressure to deploy AI for competitive advantage, yet the tools themselves are often being adopted outside your control. The speed of adoption is fundamentally outpacing the speed of governance.
This dangerous gap is creating the single most defining leadership challenge of the decade: establishing effective, auditable AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance. We are dealing with the dual threat of "Shadow AI"—where employees utilize unsanctioned tools—and the exponential risk of Agentic AI (autonomous decision-makers) operating at machine speed.
The core question has decisively shifted from: "How do we build AI?" to: "How do we govern what we can no longer fully see, and cannot afford to slow down?"
The Conversation: Learning from the Front Lines
Join an intimate discussion among peers to dissect these challenges in a confidential setting (Chatham House Rule applies).
We are excited to co-host John Peluso, CIO of AvePoint, a global firm specializing in data governance and resilience. As CIO, John holds a unique, front-row view of the practical, often complex, realities of AI implementation across AvePoint's extensive global customer base.
During the dinner, John will share frank, firsthand lessons learned and will spark an open exchange focused on:
- Defining Liability: Navigating vendor relationships and shared accountability when AI-driven processes inevitably fail.
- Practical Frameworks: Moving governance out of abstract policy documents by implementing non-technical, auditable controls for AI agents.
- Seizing Opportunity: Pinpointing where responsible AI deployment is already generating measurable competitive differentiation today.
This round table is your opportunity to exchange confidential insights, validate your strategic approach, and collectively define the steps needed to move from reactive risk mitigation to proactive AI success.
Secure your place at the table for a dialogue that will redefine your approach to leading in the AI era.
