In an era defined by the rapid rise of generative AI, escalating cyber threats, and accelerated digital transformation, the need for confident and informed technology governance has never been greater.
The EY Technology Governance Program is a market-leading initiative designed to help senior leaders navigate this evolving landscape. Through immersive, peer-led sessions, the program fosters strategic dialogue on how organisations can create value, manage risk, and secure long-term advantage through effective governance.
Program Overview
Session 1: The Future of AI - Immersive experiences and strategic foresight
Session 2: Practical Technology Investments – Decision making in emerging tech
This is not a conference—it’s a curated experience to inspire action, sharpen governance, and prepare you for what’s next.
What to expect?
Each session is guided by EY’s leading practitioners and features guest speakers from globally recognised technology-enabled organisations. Discussions are held under Chatham House Rule, encouraging open exchange and peer-to-peer learning.
- Board-relevant insights: Learn how to ask the right questions and make informed decisions about technology strategy and risk.
- Peer engagement: Connect with fellow board members and C-suite leaders from across sectors.
- Practical takeaways: Leave with tools, frameworks, and examples you can apply immediately.
- Full program experience: Both sessions are designed to complement each other—attending both ensures a complete and impactful learning journey.
Now in its 6th year, the EY Technology Governance Program is at the forefront of defining how technology can be governed to create value and manage risk in a rapidly evolving AI landscape. I can’t wait for participants to join us on this journey, to challenge the status quo, and to emerge as leaders who can navigate the complexities of the digital world with confidence and foresight. I hope that you will consider this opportunity to shape the future of technology governance.
