AuthenticAI™ starts with authentic conversations

Before organisations can build AI they trust, their leaders need conversations they can trust: ones that challenge assumptions, draw on real experience and stay focused on people, accountability and measurable outcomes.

 

Most events are built around a stage. Leadership Retros is built around a table, named after the retrospective: an honest look at what worked, what stalled and what you would do differently. Not attendees. Peers.

01

Executive dinner

Hear from technology and business leaders driving enterprise transformation across industries.

02

Roundtable
Honest conversations around AI, engineering, GCCs, customer experience, and enterprise modernization.

03

Practitioner forum
Senior practitioners comparing how the work is actually being done: architecture, data, platforms, delivery.

04

Developer and technology event

Sessions and hands-on exchange for engineering leaders building the platforms everyone else depends on.

AuthenticAI™

From AI Adoption to Enterprise Transformation

Every organisation is experimenting with AI. Very few are changing how they operate because of it.

This season’s rooms look at how enterprises move beyond pilots and proofs of concept to AI that is trusted, scaled and visible in the P&L. What Authentic AI means in practice, not in theory.

Start with Gurugram, 9 October

Who Should Attend

Senior business and technology leaders from banking, retail, telecom, aviation, healthcare, technology and global capability centres, navigating the same decisions in the same room.

 

The audience is as senior as the people leading the conversation.

Membership is
by Application.

Open to CXOs, GCC heads and senior technology and business leaders. Every application is reviewed by the Leadership Retros team, and we reply by email.

    A standing seat between rooms.

    Every Leadership Retros room ends. The Club keeps the conversation going: a small, reviewed membership of senior leaders who want first call on the next table and the honest read-out from every city.

    01

    First call on every room
    Priority invitations to dinners and roundtables in your city, before seats are opened more widely.

    02

    Retro notes from every city
    Honest conversations around AI, engineering, GCCs, customer experience, and enterprise modernization.

    03

    A say in the agenda

    Put forward the question the next table should take on, or lead the provocation yourself.

    04

    Introductions that matter

    Considered, one-to-one introductions to peers working through the same decisions in other cities.

    Chatham House Rule

    No stage

    No slides

    No recording

    No sales pitch

    5 cities. 3 continents. One calendar.

    POV is building a global network of leaders shaping AI-native enterprises. Active and emerging communities across the world’s most important enterprise markets.
