AI LIVE: The London Summit convenes global leaders to resolve operational bottlenecks and scale AI across industrial automation.

The primary constraint on industrial efficiency is the manual handoff between existing enterprise systems. Recent data from Ace Workflow reveals that 26% of documented enterprise work hours—and up to 44% within finance—can be reclaimed through targeted automation.

Crucially, this inefficiency exists between software applications rather than within them. With 99% of mapped steps still performed manually across nearly three tools per process, modern businesses remain trapped in widespread operational bottlenecks.

To help enterprise leaders address these fragmented workflows and scale intelligent systems, AI Magazine, a BizClik brand, is convening over 2,000 global executives at Olympia London for AI LIVE: The London Summit 2026.

Designed to transition AI from strategic ambition to operational execution, the summit provides practical, decision-ready insights into the emerging technologies, frameworks, and governance models defining the enterprise landscape.

The opportunity is not simply to add more technology, but to use AI as an intelligence layer, helping automation respond to real-world variability, connecting decisions across operations and allowing people to focus on the exceptions
