Once again, Flashes & Flames is gathering an unrivalled group of industry leaders to discuss their strategies, lessons and learnings from AI. More than 30 CEOs and technology specialists will be participating in The Definitive AI Forum for Media, Information & Events 2026, in London on Wednesday 18 November.
The location is the historic and uniquely collegiate Stationers’ Hall. The event’s 200-person capacity will help delegates, speakers and panelists to engage throughout the day.
Like last year’s sellout event, the emphasis will be on panel discussions, fireside chats, networking and practical workshops. Participants will share their successes and disappointments from an eventful year in the development of AI technologies. Delegates will benefit from: an exclusive 150-page eBook of case studies, background reading and reference material; live transcripts of each session, audio recordings, messaging and meeting-setting apps.
