DSW Enterprise AI Symposium 2026, New York

Event Synopsis Welcome to the Era of Sovereign Intelligence For decades, enterprise software processed data to produce information. AI changes that equation. It turns enterprise data into intelligence. Intelligence that informs decisions, takes action, shapes customer experiences, and increasingly becomes part of how the business operates. As that happens, a new set of questions emerges for enterprise leaders: Who owns that intelligence? Who controls it? And how do you govern it as AI operates across the enterprise? As AI-generated intelligence becomes an enterprise's key asset and competitive advantage, Sovereign Intelligence is becoming a business imperative. And as AI moves faster and operates with greater autonomy, governance can no longer be an afterthought. It must be built into how AI operates, scales, and creates value. The DSW Enterprise AI Symposium 2026 is an invitation-led forum bringing together 50 senior technology and business leaders to explore what this means as enterprises move beyond simply adopting AI toward becoming truly AI-Native. The conversation will explore: Sovereign Intelligence and the new enterprise key assets Governance, ownership, and control in the age of AI Moving AI from experimentation to enterprise-wide impact Scaling AI and Agentic AI with trust and accountability Turning AI investment into sustainable business value The next chapter of Enterprise AI will not be defined by who has the most AI. It will be defined by who can turn AI into intelligence they own, govern, control, and put to work.
