Brazen Summit 2026, Day 2: AI, Work and the Infrastructure Behind It

Morning two of the Brazen Summit: what AI is doing to work, careers and infrastructure.

Dr Daniel Duma opens with a keynote on what agentic AI can do today. A panel with Emily Armstrong (Aer Studios), Joel Gibbard MBE (Open Bionics) and Caelum Rosenkranz (Google Cloud) asks how the next generation of tech leaders gets experience if AI takes the entry-level tasks. Kirstine Dale (Met Office Chief AI Officer), Su Crighton (KPMG), Andrew Ward (nLighten) and Katie Gallagher OBE then cover what works beyond pilots. Dame Dawn Childs, CEO of nLighten, closes on sovereignty and compute. 09:30 to 12:30 at St Nicholas Church. Paid; no face price published.

Why go: the Met Office and KPMG speakers talk about AI in production, and a closing session on UK compute capacity is rare in Bristol. Best for CTOs, heads of people and anyone planning AI hiring or spend.
