- A Global Leadership Movement
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
03
Practitioner forum
04
Developer and technology event
Sessions and hands-on exchange for engineering leaders building the platforms everyone else depends on.
- This Year's Theme
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.
- The Room
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.

- The Leadership Retros Club
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
02
Retro notes from every city
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
