Roundtables

Quarterly sessions. Chatham House Rule.

Each city chapter convenes four times a year. Sessions are intentionally small. Discussions are governed by the Chatham House Rule: members may use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker may be revealed.

The session

How a session works.

A typical roundtable runs three hours. The Secretariat circulates a discussion paper two weeks in advance. Each session opens with a member-led framing on a specific decision the chapter is weighing; the remainder of the time is given to peer exchange.

No recording. No press unless explicitly invited. No vendor pitching. The Secretariat publishes a short, anonymised digest after each session, distributed to members only.

Forthcoming themes

  • Governance frameworks for agentic deployments inside regulated industries.
  • Procurement criteria for foundation-model contracts above material thresholds.
  • Internal audit and incident response for AI-driven decisions affecting customers.
  • The boardroom case for sustained capability investment versus point pilots.

The chapter calendar is communicated to members directly by the Secretariat. It is not posted publicly.
