Event Recap
What return on AI actually looks like
Singapore, 19 May 2026. Twenty-six senior leaders. One room. Three hours under Chatham House rules to answer a single question that capital markets have already started pricing: what does return on AI actually look like in 2026?
The second AI Strategy & Investment Forum gathered voices from banking, asset management, real estate, insurance, telecommunications, retail, public sector, and security to co-build the year's ROI frame, refresh the 70-20-10 learning model for an AI-plus-human era, and put one real project from each table through the pressure-test that only happens when the people who run the work sit across from each other.
This Year's Conversations
ROI as a Competitive Edge
Beyond P&L impact. How AI translates into a sustainable, defensible advantage in your industry.
Governance as Risk Management
Beyond blanket policies. Framing AI governance for the board as tiered, risk-weighted decisions.
Human + AI Chemistry
How roles, teams, and org design reskill and reorganize once AI is embedded.

Three seats at the same table
A room small enough and closed enough that people say what they actually think.
Board Directors
Sharpening the questions they bring to their next audit and risk committee.
Hear what management actually wrestles with before it reaches the board pack.
C-Suite Operators
Running the firms capital flows into.
Hear the questions their next audit committee will ask.
Family Office Principals
Allocating across the theme and stewarding their own houses.
See both sides of the table they invest behind.
Convened by KDA Capabilities at the AWS Experience Center. You leave with a sharper plan, language you can use on Monday, and peers across all three seats you can call before your next major decision.
Our inaugural forum was an extraordinary evening
On November 3rd 2025, we brought together fund owners, CIOs from global banks, and leaders from firms like Anthropic at the AWS Experience Center, Singapore for a candid, invitation-only working discussion. No speeches. No pitches. No press. Following the success of our inaugural session at AWS, we are returning to this venue for our May 19th roundtable.
