Why attend?

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the private equity landscape. Across sourcing, diligence, operational optimisation and exit planning, AI is emerging as a material driver of portfolio value.

Yet adoption across portfolio companies is often fragmented and inconsistent, with limited board level visibility. Shadow tools, specialist vendors and evolving regulatory expectations are creating new operational and reputational exposure.

Seizing the AI Advantage is a private, senior level breakfast discussion designed for private equity leaders navigating this shift. The session focuses on practical value creation, scalable deployment and governance models that enable innovation without compromising control.

What This Session Delivers

Clear examples of measurable AI driven value across the PE lifecycle
Deployment insight from Microsoft powered portfolio environments
A pragmatic governance framework suitable for complex multi asset portfolios
Peer level discussion under Chatham House principles
