Make AI Real – Scale with confidence, deliver measurable impact

Are you ready to make AI resonate for your business?

Date: 25th February 2026

Time: 1:00pm – 6:30pm

Location: 95 Queen Victoria St, London EC4V 4HN

Join us at our ‘Make AI Real’ event and discover how to bring real impact across your organisation and for your people.

Last year, we declared Playtime is Over – bringing together over 100 UK business and technology leaders and AI experts to ignite the AI conversation. We explored how everyone can contribute to advancing the AI agenda and harness its power to strengthen enterprise resilience and unlock practical applications.

This year, the message is clear: It’s time to scale AI and make it real.

Today, organisations are no longer asking if they should adopt AI, they’re asking how to embed it as a core component of their strategy. The challenge now is to make AI resonate across the organisation, delivering measurable impact for both the business and its people.

At our ‘Make AI Real’ event, you will:

  • Hear our keynote and panel speakers present AI use cases discussing how to deliver measurable impact through scalable tech and learn how to develop and implement intelligent operations and agentic AI. 
  • Experience practical AI applications across Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance, and HR through our Capgemini bespoke demos. 
  • Explore Capgemini’s Resonance AI framework – a proven approach to embed and scale AI at pace. 

Enjoy all of this alongside complimentary food and drinks, with the opportunity to network with peers after the event.
