Who’s doing what and how with AI?
Flashes & Flames has assembled an unrivalled group of industry leaders from the UK, US and EU to discuss their AI strategies, lessons and learnings. 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.
It will be a day of networking, insightful panel discussions, fireside chats and practical masterclasses.
Book now to avoid disappointment
The location is the historic and uniquely collegiate Stationers’ Hall. The 200-person limited capacity will help delegates, speakers and panelists to engage throughout the day. The first edition was sold-out weeks ahead in 2025, and this year’s event is already booking fast. The Launch discount rate is available now.
Practical, insightful and engaging
The emphasis will be on practical presentations, panel discussions, fireside chats, networking and workshops. Participants will share their successes, strategies (and disappointments) from an eventful year in the development of AI technologies. They will also look ahead to what comes next. Delegates will benefit from: an exclusive 150-page eBook of case studies, background reading and reference material; near live transcripts of every session; audio recordings; and messaging and meeting-setting apps.
