Panel: Regulation, trust & governance in product building
European product leaders are at the forefront of AI regulation. While new rules like the EU AI Act raise the bar for responsible innovation, they also force organisations to rethink how they build, launch and scale AI products. Join industry leaders as they explore how Europe's leading product organisations are balancing speed with responsibility, navigating an evolving regulatory landscape and turning trust into a competitive advantage. You'll learn how to: - Build AI products that meet rising regulatory expectations without slowing innovation. - Balance compliance, customer trust and commercial pressure. - Prepare your product organisation for Europe's evolving AI landscape.

Interactive roundtable discussions
Step away from the presentations and join a small-group discussion with fellow product leaders. Each roundtable is hosted by an industry expert, giving you the chance to explore today's biggest product challenges in an open, interactive setting. Bring your questions, share your experiences and leave with fresh perspectives, practical ideas and new connections from leaders facing many of the same challenges as you. Roundtable discussions include: - When everyone has AI, what makes great products stand out? - Just Because You Can Build It, Should You? Balancing investor pressure and customer value. - How Do Product Teams Stay Customer-Centric as They Scale? - Where Should AI Make the Decisions—and Where Should Humans? Exploring the right balance between automation, judgment and accountability.
