Themes
AI governance in practice
Beyond the frameworks - what is actually working inside organisations? Real implementation stories, not theoretical models.
GDPR realities
Eight years in. What have we learned? What still is not working? Honest assessments from people running programmes day to day.
Security and infrastructure
The operational side that rarely gets conference airtime. Architecture decisions, tooling choices, and the messy reality of keeping data safe.
