Executive Briefing on AI for Boards

An executive briefing on AI for boards is a private session in which futurist Matthew Griffin, founder of the 311 Institute, briefs your directors on where artificial intelligence and agentic systems are heading, what that means for your organisation, and the decisions the board should take now. It is closed-door and delivered in person first, anywhere in the world.
