Does any of this sound familiar?

Board mandate. No operating playbook.

Every event you have attended was a sales pitch dressed as thought leadership.

Enterprise case studies everywhere. Peer insight at your scale, nowhere.

You have heard 'agentic AI' more times than you can count. None of it has helped you decide what to do next quarter.

Integration, change management, getting your team to actually use the tools. Nobody talks about that. We do.

aiblLIVE London 2026 : What to expect

aiblLIVE London is the AI event designed specifically for UK mid-market and scale-up business leaders. Not another tech conference.. A full day of practical, functional AI  built around the decisions you actually need to make in 2026.

Five functional tracks. One strategic foundation.

 Most AI events cover AI in the abstract. aiblLIVE covers AI in your function. Every session, demo, and workshop is organised around the five areas where mid-market businesses are making AI work right now all grounded in a strategic layer that runs through everything:

Infrastructure

How to build an AI-ready organisation safely, compliantly, at your scale 

Growth

AI for sales, marketing, and customer acquisition

Workforce

AI for HR, talent, and how your team actually adopts new tools

Efficiency

Process automation, document workflows, and cutting the friction

Customer

AI in service, support, and the moments that matter to your customers 

Strategy

Every track at aiblLIVE connects back to this so you leave with not just functional insights, but a framework for making them work together. 

What makes aiblLIVE different?

aiblLIVE is a new event experience
Get your pass before the price rise

No panels. No pitches. No wasted afternoons.

Every session is built around doing, not listening. Case studies, live workshops, track debates, structured to get you to a decision by the time you leave.

Every session ends in something you can use

15-min operator case studies. 45-min live build workshops. Town hall debates close each track. Every speaker did this, at mid-market scale, under real constraints. 

20 live demos. Real workflows. Hard questions welcome. 

Real tools on real data, run by the operators who built them. Ask what worked, what broke, and what it cost. The Discovery Zone stays open all day. 

Matched before you arrive. Useful from the first minute. 

Submit your challenge at registration. We match you to the enablement partners, peers, and advisors most relevant to where you actually are in your AI journey. Pre-booked Expert Bar clinics, Boardroom sessions, and smart matchmaking mean you spend the day with the right people.

What you’ll leave with

A shortlist of AI use cases proven at your scale, not enterprise theatre you can't replicate.

A 90 day plan for your function, built from operator case studies rather than vendor decks.

Honest answers from people who've done it: what worked, what broke, what it cost.

A handful of enablement partners matched to your specific challenge before you arrive.

And a network of mid-market leaders under exactly the board pressure you're under.

Speakers announced so far

Every speaker at aiblLIVE earned their place on one test: they did this themselves, at mid-market scale, under real constraints. Ten confirmed so far, more to come.
