Overview
You didn't rise to leadership to manage uncertainty - you rose to lead through it. But the AI moment is different. It isn't asking leaders to work harder. It's asking them to think differently.
SITS returns for its third year because that challenge hasn't gone away - it's deepened. What began in 2022 as a conversation about emerging technology has become something more urgent: a reckoning with how leaders build organisations that are faster, more human, and more resilient because of how they use technology - not in spite of it. Each year, the cohort gets sharper. The questions get harder. The stakes get higher.
SITS 2026 is built for leaders who are past the headlines and ready for the real work. Over two intensive days, you'll move from theory to practice - challenged, stretched, and equipped with a framework you can bring back to your team the following Monday.
This is not a lecture on algorithms. It's a leadership reckoning. And if you were in the room in 2024, you already know what we mean.

Really open my mind about AI. Thank you very much, ASB.
Overall, very informative and eye opening session especially involving cyber security.

I love it that the seminar was not a conventional seminar; but very much an engagement with the audience. Duration of the sessions were apt and the speakers were spot on. Love to join more seminars by ABS in the future!
