About this Event
AI ambition is rising quickly. In many organisations, data readiness is not keeping pace.
This session will examine where AI initiatives stall at the data layer, what AI-ready hybrid data actually requires, and how organisations can improve governance, access and optimisation across existing environments, without committing to a multi-year migration.
This is an executive discussion for leaders who need to make sense of the rapidly evolving data and AI landspace to make crucial decisions now. We will look at where risk is building, which constraints are slowing progress, and how to create more optionality across existing data estates while AI expectations continue to rise.
You will leave with a clearer view of:
- Where AI programmes most commonly slow down
- What to prioritise first across hybrid data, governance, access, and control
- How to improve readiness and create more value using what you already have
- How to build AI-ready data, without multi-year migration programmes
- How a hybrid approach can unlock savings and remove operating constraints
- How to stay in control over sensitive data, workloads, and IP while accelerating AI
Who should attend:
This exclusive breakfast is designed for established and emerging technology leaders, and senior executives responsible for data and AI strategy, governance, and delivery.
Places are strictly limited to keep the discussion relevant, focused and practical.

Why SECTION6 and IBM
SECTION6 and IBM are hosting this collaborative breakfast together around a shared premise: Al does not solve data chaos, it scales it.
IBM brings deep capability across hybrid and sovereign AI deployment, open data architectures, workload optimisation and automated governance. SECTION6 brings an engineering-led perspective shaped by practical experience applying AI to mission-critical applications and business processes. Together, the discussion is focused on how large organisations can improve data readiness and adopt Al more safely, without long and disruptive data migration programmes.
Together, we will help you be better prepared for the data challenges that stand in the way of successful AI adoption.
