An exclusive, interactive executive roundtable on AI, cybersecurity, financial control and digital trust.
- Where: SLS, Barcelona
- When: 9 November 2026
- Access: By invitation only, limited to approximately 8–12 executives
- Rules: Closed-door, Chatham House Rule
AI is changing the rules
Artificial intelligence is redefining financial accountability, cybersecurity leadership, regulatory compliance and the way organizations manage their digital supply chains.
Token consumption is becoming a financial concern. AI-generated software is entering critical business processes. Traditional governance, risk and compliance (GRC) approaches are struggling to keep pace. Meanwhile, regulatory expectations continue to grow.
The question is no longer whether AI will change your role. The question is whether you have the right answers when your board starts asking.
Join Prof. Dr. Yuri Bobbert and a select group of executive peers for an exclusive roundtable in Barcelona.
This is not a traditional presentation. Participants will actively contribute to developing the answers to five critical boardroom questions, drawing on their own expertise, experiences and perspectives.
Five questions every executive should have answers to
1. CFO: Who controls the economics of AI?
Tokenization, AI usage and rapidly increasing token consumption are changing technology economics. How will CFOs move from traditional IT budgeting to managing AI consumption, cost predictability and measurable business value?
2. CSO/CISO: How does AI redefine security leadership?
AI is transforming the governance, risk and compliance process itself. What happens when AI agents identify risks, test controls and generate compliance evidence? How will security leaders evolve from overseeing security operations to governing autonomous systems and continuous assurance?
3. CIO/CTO: Can you trust the software operating in your supply chain?
Vibe coding, glue coding and AI-generated integrations are accelerating software development while introducing hidden dependencies and risks. How can organizations discover these systems, understand their underlying AI models and providers, and continuously collect reliable security and compliance evidence?
4. CEO/Board: Are you keeping pace with the regulatory tsunami?
DORA, NIS2, GDPR, the EU AI Act and sector-specific requirements are increasing executive accountability. How can organizations translate regulatory complexity into practical, scalable governance without slowing innovation?
5. All executives: What can we learn from highly regulated industries?
Financial services, healthcare and other regulated sectors have developed approaches to managing risk, demonstrating compliance and producing audit evidence. Which lessons can executives apply to AI governance, continuous monitoring and trustworthy AI adoption?
How the session works
This roundtable is built around collective intelligence, not passive listening. Every participant brings valuable experience. Through a facilitated Group Support System (GSS), we turn those perspectives into structured insights and actionable conclusions in four steps:
- Contribute: Participants individually share their answers, experiences and recommendations for each of the five executive questions.
- Discuss: The group explores contrasting perspectives, challenges assumptions and identifies common themes.
- Score: Participants collectively assess and prioritize the answers based on their importance, relevance and practical value.
- Conclude: The highest-scoring answers become the foundation for five executive takeaways, supported by the group's collective expertise.
Rather than relying on the opinion of a single speaker, participants jointly determine which answers matter most.
What you will take away
- Five prioritized executive answers, developed and scored by the participants.
- Insights into how AI is redefining the responsibilities of CFOs, CIOs, CISOs and executive boards.
- Practical lessons from regulated industries on governance, continuous assurance and evidence-based decision-making.
- A consolidated summary of the highest-ranked recommendations and areas of consensus or disagreement.
- New relationships with executive peers facing similar challenges.
You don't just attend the conversation. You help create the answers that everyone takes home.
Who should attend
CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, Chief Risk Officers and senior executives responsible for AI, technology, finance, risk and governance.

AI governance is too important to leave to isolated opinions or theoretical discussions. By combining executive experience with structured group decision-making, this roundtable turns five critical questions into five collectively developed and prioritized answers.
Come prepared to challenge, contribute and learn. Leave equipped with the answers your board expects.
