AI and cloud investments continue to scale, yet executive leaders face increasing scrutiny to demonstrate clear, defensible returns. Insights from Apptio’s 2026 Technology Investment Management Report show that 90% of technology leaders say uncertainty around ROI is now shaping investment decisions, even as AI and cybersecurity remain top priorities for 2026.

This session outlines an executive-level investment framework to help leadership teams:

• Align CIOs and CFOs on a shared, trusted view of technology investments, enabling faster, more confident capital allocation decisions.
• Connect financial and operational data to distinguish true cost from realized value as priorities evolve.
• Direct funding to the initiatives with the highest business impact, ensuring AI and digital transformation deliver measurable outcomes, not just increased spend.

• Clarify shared ownership of AI across the C‑suite so decisions are made from one coherent playbook, not competing agendas.

• Turn AI strategy into a practical operating model that business, technology, risk and people leaders can execute together, enabling AI‑driven products and services to become safer, more personalised and faster to deliver for customers.

In this session, Courtney Stout takes us behind the scenes of the league's data governance and privacy strategy — revealing how it determines which AI innovations make it onto the court. The discussion explores how the NBA balances bold experimentation with robust guardrails around privacy, ethical use of fan data, and responsible AI adoption, turning cutting-edge technology into trusted, long-term fan engagement.

• Stress-test your near-term AI priorities against real operational constraints.
• Leave with a sharper view of where to focus effort in the next six months to maintain strategic momentum.

As enterprises gather momentum with AI, the conversation is moving from experimentation into the practical realities of scaling and operationalising AI. Data readiness, security, performance, cost control and the orchestration of agents across complex application and data landscapes are becoming critical questions for business and technology leaders.

In this executive roundtable, Oracle will bring together senior leaders to discuss what is working well, what remains challenging, and how organisations are preparing for the next phase of enterprise AI. The discussion will focus on practical experiences, lessons learned, and decisions leaders need to make to scale AI and agentic workflows effectively.

In this case study, she shares the practical playbook behind that journey: how to identify resistance, bring early adopters on board, build the right foundations, and turn sceptics into fluent AI practitioners at scale.

From autonomous flight and AI-driven manufacturing to robotics, digital twins, and predictive systems that keep aircraft airborne, physical AI is fundamentally reshaping what aerospace can do and how fast it can evolve. In this case study, Dr Greg Ombach, SVP and Group Head of Disruptive Research, Technology & Innovation at Airbus, shares how one of the world's largest aerospace companies is making bold, long-term bets on physical AI; translating deep-tech research into industrial-scale impact across design, production, and operations.
