AI Is Changing the Rules.
Leadership is changing with it.

Most AI events focus on technology, trends and implementation.

Corporate Women Summit AI is about the women making the decisions.

On September 24, senior women leaders will come together in The Lanesborough London to explore the questions that matter as AI moves deeper into the enterprise, leadership, governance, accountability, risk, opportunity and organizational change.

This is not a day of presentations and product pitches. It is a carefully curated room designed for candid executive conversations, facilitated roundtables and meaningful connections with women navigating many of the same decisions you are.

The value is who you meet, what you discuss and what you take back to your organization.

▸ ABOUT THE SUMMIT · // DUBAI 2026

Where It Started.

Corporate Women Summit began with a simple conviction: exceptional women leaders deserve rooms that reflect the scale of their ambition, influence and expertise.

It started as an idea in New York, took shape in Atlanta, and came to life in Dubai with a clear intention: to create a space where women could connect beyond titles and industries, and turn conversation into opportunity. The inaugural summit brought together founders, executives, and advisors of 22 nationalities for premium dialogue, meaningful connection, and executive visibility.

What we saw in Dubai confirmed something important: when the right women are brought together in an intentional room, the conversation becomes bigger than the event. Relationships deepen. Perspectives shift. Doors open. CWS AI London carries that same philosophy into one of the most consequential leadership shifts of our time: AI.

▸ Our Origin

THE BACKSTORY 

I’ve been in the corporate world long enough to see exceptional women leading, building, protecting, transforming and influencing organizations, yet not always entering rooms that reflect the scale of their authority, ambition or contribution. 

Corporate Women Summit exists to create those rooms.

Today, AI is reshaping work, leadership, governance, risk, opportunity, and organizational decision-making. New leadership lanes are opening, and the women who lead next will be the ones helping shape those conversations now.

Corporate Women Summit AI London is for the executive, founder, advisor, legal leader, privacy leader, people leader, cyber leader, investor, and transformation leader ready to position her expertise for the AI era.

Expect facilitated executive roundtables, candid peer-to-peer exchange and thought-provoking discussions in the elegant setting of The Lanesborough, Knightsbridge.

No exhibition hall. No product pitches. No crowded sales environment. Just a carefully curated room where perspectives are exchanged, relationships are built and ideas can become action.

Belinda Enoma is a global AI Governance and Digital Trust Executive, keynote speaker, and advisor helping enterprise leaders close the gap between AI ambition and accountable execution. Drawing on global expertise across the US, UK, continental Europe, Middle East, and Africa, she brings boardroom-level clarity to the risks, governance decisions, and trust challenges organizations face as AI scales.  Her work helps leaders move from innovation pressure to executive accountability before regulatory, reputational, or operational failures force the conversation. Through Corporate Women Summit and THEEAIR, Belinda Enoma curates spaces for senior leaders to examine the forces reshaping organizations, challenge conventional thinking, and engage in meaningful conversations about the future of AI.

▸ The Roundtables

Three Conversations.
One Purposeful Room.

01

From Expertise to AI Authority

A facilitated conversation on influence, leadership and how women translate existing expertise into AI authority across the enterprise. We explore how leaders in legal, privacy, cybersecurity, governance, risk, people, finance and operations position themselves for relevance as AI reshapes decision-making.

02

The AI Accountability Gap

A cross-functional discussion exploring governance, privacy, cybersecurity, legal, risk and business accountability as AI moves into the enterprise. We examine who owns accountability when AI decisions create organisational risk, and how leaders build board-level trust before failure forces the conversation.

03

Responsible AI Leadership in Practice

A Chatham House Rule discussion on what leaders are learning as AI moves from experimentation into real-world adoption. We share practical lessons, governance approaches and the human judgement required to deploy AI responsibly at scale.

BELINDA ENOMA

BELINDA ENOMA

AI GOVERNANCE, PRIVACY  & DIGITAL TRUST EXECUTIVE 

THEEAIR - The Executive AI Roundtable™

Belinda Enoma explores what happens when AI moves from a tool people use to an agent that can act, decide, and execute with increasing autonomy. Her work focuses on the questions leaders must confront before AI systems begin making consequential decisions on their behalf. With a background spanning law, Big Four consulting, enterprise technology, cybersecurity, privacy, and risk, she brings a uniquely cross-disciplinary lens to the emerging challenges of agentic AI. A 5x published author and global keynote speaker, Belinda challenges executives to think beyond AI adoption toward accountability, trust, and the consequences of autonomous systems.  Her question for the AI era is simple: What happens when agentic AI makes the wrong decision, and who is accountable?
