Exclusive CIO/CISO Lunch & Learn
How do you stay in control of Agentic AI?
AI is now on virtually every board agenda. But how can you deploy AI safely and in a controlled manner? And how do you ensure that your organisation retains demonstrable control over the associated risks, responsibilities and legal obligations?
During this exclusive Lunch & Learn, you will join 15 to 25 CIOs, CISOs and security architects from the region to discuss these questions. Together, we will explore how to translate the requirements of the EU AI Act into a concrete Secure AI Architecture for your organisation.
- Date: Thursday, 17 September 2026
- Time: 12:00–14:00
- Location: Restaurant El Puente, Eindhoven
From regulation to practical control
The rise of Agentic AI creates new opportunities, but also new risks. AI systems are becoming increasingly autonomous, processing sensitive information and carrying out tasks independently. This changes the way organisations need to approach security, governance and compliance.
During this roundtable, we bring together the executive and technical perspectives. We will discuss what the EU AI Act means in practical terms for Dutch organisations and how to translate these requirements into a secure, manageable AI architecture.
The discussion will include questions such as:
- What are the implications of the EU AI Act for your organisation?
- What new risks does Agentic AI introduce?
- How do you maintain visibility of AI use across your organisation?
- Who should own AI: the CIO, the CISO or the business?
- Can an employee use ChatGPT for customer information?
- What does a secure, demonstrably controlled AI architecture look like?
What will you take away?
After the session, you will have:
- A clearer understanding of the impact of the EU AI Act on your organisation;
- Insight into the key developments and risks surrounding Agentic AI;
- Practical examples of a Secure AI Architecture;
- Best practices for deploying AI applications safely in production;
- New perspectives from CIOs, CISOs and security architects from the region;
- A practical AI Governance Checklist that you can apply directly within your organisation.
