11-Feb 2026  |  City Social, London  |  Tech & Cyber Executives of Large Organisations 

Topic: Navigating Challenges and Strategies for AI Deployment

Discussion Host

Tony Judd, MD EMEA North, Verizon Business

Our purpose is simple: to create a space where collaboration isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the driving force. Tech Talk is a community for technology leaders who want to roll up their sleeves, get to the heart of burning issues, and find practical solutions that drive progress.

We don’t shy away from the messy side of transformation. Here, we go beyond the polished success stories and dive into the unpolished truth. What went wrong? Could it have been prevented? This is your chance to learn from others who’ve been in the trenches. 

 

If you’re ready to bring your ideas, key challenges, and form lasting connections, now's the time to join us. At this session, the focus of the discussion why transformation fails.

An intimate dinner at
Michelin-starred location 

City Social, Tower 42, London / 6:30-9:30PM

Jason Atherton’s handsome restaurant on the 24th floor of Tower 42 is dark and moody, with a subtle art deco twist. It boasts impressive views of the City skyline and the menu offers generous modern European dishes including multiple cuts of Cumbrian beef cooked on the Josper grill, from rib-eye to sirloin. The wine list offers an appealing mixture of prices and styles, and there are noteworthy cocktails too.
