Leaders In AI Summit Chicago 2026
About this event
A two-day executive summit on Michigan Avenue covering sovereign AI, governance and enterprise infrastructure, with workshops, panels on agentic systems and healthcare AI, and closed-door executive roundtables.
The Institute for AI Transformation brings its Leaders In AI Summit to the Westin Michigan Avenue for two days aimed at people accountable for AI programs rather than the people writing the models.
Day one, September 15, 12:45 pm to 6:00 pm. Check-in early afternoon, followed by an executive workshop on governance in AI deployment and a roundtable on responsible AI practice. The evening carries a cocktail reception and an invitation-only think tank dinner.
Day two, September 16, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. On-site check-in opens at 8:30 am in the hotel lobby. The main program runs keynotes and expert panels on scaling enterprise AI, agentic systems, and AI in healthcare transformation, broken up by executive roundtables on governance, infrastructure strategy and organizational change.
Recurring themes across both days include sovereign AI, data governance, AI safety and the practical mechanics of moving enterprise systems into production. The roundtable and think tank formats are the differentiator here: much of the value is in the closed-session discussion rather than the stage program.
Registration runs through an application on the summit site, and organizers encourage registering well ahead of the date. The two think tank dinners are invitation only.
