Captains Of AI 2026
The inaugural gathering establishes the tone and standard for future international editions.
Participation is intentionally limited to ensure meaningful executive exchange. A maximum of two leaders per organization may attend.
Executive Profile
Captains of AI is designed for senior leaders shaping the long-term direction of their organizations.
The Executive Offsite brings together CEOs, CIOs, COOs, and executives responsible for strategy, transformation, governance, and capital allocation. Participants are decision-makers navigating how artificial intelligence influences competitive positioning, organizational structure, risk oversight, and leadership accountability.
AI is no longer confined to innovation teams or technical departments. It increasingly affects how authority is structured, how investment priorities are determined, and how organizations are perceived by boards, investors, and markets.
Relevance is defined not by industry or scale, but by mandate — the level of responsibility carried within the organization and the consequences attached to strategic decisions.
This is an Executive Offsite for those accountable for direction and positioning — not observers, vendors, or operational specialists, but leaders responsible for consequential choices.
Strategic Value
AI presents both opportunity and structural complexity.
Beyond innovation potential, artificial intelligence influences governance design, capital allocation, risk exposure, organizational authority, and long-term competitive positioning. The challenge for leadership is not only what to adopt — but how to structure decisions that will define the organization’s trajectory over time.
The Executive Offsite enables leaders to examine how vision, strategy, governance, and execution interact in practice. Through peer-level dialogue and real-world implementation insight, participants gain clarity on what responsible, coherent, and strategically aligned AI positioning requires.
For some organizations, this means defining direction and establishing foundational structures.
For others, it means recalibrating initiatives, strengthening governance, or addressing internal friction between ambition and execution.
In both cases, the objective is informed leadership — grounded in clarity, accountability, and deliberate positioning — not acceleration without structure.
Curated Participation
Participation in the Founding Executive Offsite is intentionally limited and selective.
Attendance is by invitation and application to ensure a focused, board-level environment where strategic dialogue unfolds with depth and discretion. A maximum of two participants per organization is welcomed to support internal alignment while preserving diversity of perspective across the cohort.
The executive group is deliberately curated to bring together leaders actively shaping the AI direction of their organizations — not observing it. The value of participation lies not only in the content shared, but in the caliber, mandate, and positioning of those in the room.
Depth, confidentiality, and meaningful executive exchange remain central to the design of the Executive Offsite.
