## About

The IDC UK AI and Data Summit brings senior technology and business executives together in London to address the strategic and operational challenges of scaling artificial intelligence and data initiatives across the enterprise. As European organisations navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment—most notably the EU AI Act—while simultaneously pursuing AI-driven transformation, the summit provides a forum for examining practical approaches to governance, compliance and value creation.
