CIO Roundtable #1 — Workshop: "Designing Practical AI Governance Frameworks"
Location: Robert H. Lee Family Boardroom

90‑Minute Interactive Working Session with up to 60 CIO/CAIOs from Fortune 5000 Enterprises.

Description:
AI governance has become a board‑level mandate, yet most enterprises still lack a practical, operational framework that can be implemented across business units. This hands‑on workshop brings CIOs and Chief AI Officers together to co‑design governance models that balance innovation with safety, compliance, and accountability.

Participants will work through real scenarios involving model approval workflows, data governance, human‑in‑the‑loop oversight, and cross‑functional decision rights. The session emphasizes practical templates, governance artifacts, and implementation patterns that can be deployed immediately inside the enterprise.

Key Outcomes:

✅ A draft AI governance framework tailored to enterprise realities
✅ Templates for model lifecycle management, risk scoring, and approval workflows
✅ A governance operating model that aligns legal, security, data, and engineering teams

01:45 PM - 03:15 PM
CIO Roundtable #2 — Workshop: "Building an Enterprise‑Ready AI Platform & Architecture"
Location: Robert H. Lee Family Boardroom

90‑Minute Interactive Working Session with up to 60 CIO/CAIOs from Fortune 5000 Enterprises.

Description:
Enterprises are racing to unify fragmented AI experiments into a secure, scalable platform that supports both generative and predictive AI. This workshop guides CIOs and CAIOs through the architectural decisions required to build an enterprise‑grade AI platform — from data pipelines and vector stores to model orchestration, observability, and integration with legacy systems.

Participants will evaluate build‑vs‑buy strategies, reference architectures, and vendor ecosystem patterns. The session includes collaborative exercises on designing platform blueprints that support governance, security, and rapid experimentation without creating shadow AI.

Key Outcomes:

✅ A reference architecture for an enterprise AI platform
✅ A decision framework for selecting tools, vendors, and internal capabilities
✅ Patterns for integrating LLMs and copilots into existing systems and workflows

10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
CIO/CAIO roundtable #3—Workshop: AI Risk, Security & Model Assurance for the Enterprise
Location: Jack Poole Family Boardroom

90‑Minute Interactive Working Session

Description:
As AI systems move into production, CIOs and CAIOs must operationalize risk management, model assurance, and security controls that meet regulatory expectations and withstand real‑world threats. This workshop dives into the emerging discipline of AI security — from prompt injection and data leakage to model drift, adversarial attacks, and compliance alignment.

Participants will build an AI risk register, map risks to controls, and design monitoring and incident‑response playbooks. The session emphasizes practical, repeatable processes that can be embedded into existing cybersecurity and compliance frameworks.

Key Outcomes:

✅ A customizable AI risk register and control mapping toolkit
✅ Model assurance patterns for testing, validation, monitoring, and drift detection
✅ An AI incident‑response playbook aligned with enterprise security operations

01:00 PM - 02:30 PM
CIO/CAIO Roundtable #4—Workshop: Enterprise AI Adoption, Change Management & Workforce Enablementd Panel
Location: Robert H. Lee Family Boardroom

90‑Minute Interactive Working Session

Description:

Technology is rarely the barrier to AI success — adoption is. This workshop focuses on the organizational, cultural, and operational challenges that determine whether AI initiatives scale or stall. CIOs and CAIOs will explore the enterprise AI adoption playbook, including readiness assessments, workforce enablement, incentive design, and business‑unit alignment.

Participants will co‑create adoption roadmaps, identify friction points, and design AI literacy and training programs that accelerate value creation. The session also covers how to measure impact, communicate wins, and scale successful use cases across the enterprise.

Key Outcomes:

✅ A practical AI adoption roadmap tailored to enterprise realities
✅ A workforce enablement and AI literacy plan
✅ A value‑measurement framework for tracking ROI, productivity, and business impact
