Say hello to your speakers

Meet Dan

Dan Figueiredo is a Global Technology Strategist on AI for Microsoft, helping organisations across public, private and social sectors harness AI to solve complex challenges. He brings over two decades of experience in business transformation through technology and innovation.


He'll cut through the hype and give you an honest, insider view of where AI actually is in 2026, what Microsoft is seeing across enterprise adoption, and what's genuinely coming in the next 12 to 18 months that will shape how EAs work.

 

 

Meet Ebony

Ebony Belhumeur is the Founder and CEO of DappleAI and a Silicon Valley veteran with over a decade of experience as an Executive Assistant to visionary founders, including the former CEOs of Sephora and Twitch.


She'll give you a practical scoring matrix for evaluating AI initiatives across multiple dimensions of value and feasibility, so you can prioritise what to scale, what to park, and what to stop wasting energy on. You'll leave with a downloadable framework to use with your own team.

 

 

 

Meet Carolyn

Carolyn Shepherd is the Founder of Emmeline AI, helping HR and L&D teams land AI projects that stick. A non-practising barrister and Goldman Sachs 10KSB graduate, she brings a rare blend of legal, HR and tech expertise to the world of AI.


She'll walk you through Jobscaping, a structured audit of your own workflow that reveals where your time is really going, what AI should be handling, and where your strategic value actually lives. You'll leave with a clear map of your role and a plan to redesign your week around the work that matters most.

 

 

 

Meet Jeremy

Jeremy Dalton has advised on and implemented AI and other emerging technologies for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and governments around the world. He is a speaker, published author, and former head of PwC’s global immersive technologies practice, where he led 150+ projects across 50 countries.

He'll equip EAs with a practical framework for turning AI conversations with executives into strategic discussions rooted in judgment and business outcomes, whether a leader wants to move fast, a stakeholder is sceptical, or compliance teams need reassurance.

 

 

What You'll Walk Away With

Four sessions, each designed to give you something you can use the following week. Not theory. Not inspiration. Practical tools for the AI conversations, decisions, and career moves that matter most right now.

Know What's Real

Know what your leadership team actually thinks about AI, what they expect from you, and how to speak their language with confidence.

 

 

Prioritise What Matters

Learn how to evaluate AI initiatives like a portfolio, scoring for value and feasibility so you focus on what scales and stop chasing pilots that go nowhere.

 

 

Reclaim Your Strategic Role

Audit your own workflow, see where your time is really going, and deliberately restructure your role around the strategic work AI can never replace.

 

Lead the Conversation Upward

Get a practical framework for navigating AI conversations with senior leaders, handling skepticism, reframing resistance, and positioning yourself as the bridge between executive intent and AI capability.

 

Who Is This For?

This summit is designed for Executive Assistants, Chiefs of Staff and Operations Leaders who are already exploring and using AI in their work — and want to understand what comes next.

If you’re curious about how AI will shape organisations, leadership teams and the future of work, this event will give you access to the kinds of conversations typically happening at the executive level.

This summit is ideal for:

  • Senior Executive Assistants supporting C-suite leaders

  • Chiefs of Staff working closely with executive decision-makers

  • Operations Leads responsible for improving systems, processes and productivity

  • Strategic EAs who play a key role in how their teams adopt new tools and technologies

The speakers featured in this summit are the people advising global companies, technology leaders and executives on how AI is transforming the way organisations operate.

For this event, they’ll be sharing those insights directly with the professionals working closest to leadership.

If you're already using AI in your day-to-day work and want to understand how to think about it more strategically — not just tactically — this summit is for you.

What's On The Agenda?

Dan Figueiredo / The Reality CheckAI headlines move faster than AI capabilities. Dan will cut through the noise and give you an honest, insider view of where AI actually is today, what Microsoft is seeing across enterprise adoption, and what's genuinely coming in the next 12 to 18 months. You'll leave this session with a clear, grounded picture of what AI can and can't do right now, so every decision you make for the rest of the summit (and beyond) is built on reality rather than hype.

Ebony Belhumeur / The AI PortfolioMost teams are drowning in AI tools and pilot projects without a clear way to decide what's actually worth pursuing. Ebony will introduce a practical scoring matrix that helps you evaluate AI initiatives across multiple dimensions of value and feasibility, not just "does it save time." You'll walk away with a downloadable framework you can use with your own team the following week to prioritise what to scale, what to park, and what to stop wasting energy on.

Carolyn Shepherd / The Sovereign EAAI has cleared the path for EAs to operate at a level the profession has always been capable of but rarely had the space to sustain. Carolyn will walk you through Jobscaping, a structured audit of your own workflow that reveals where your time is going, what AI should be handling, and where your strategic value actually lives. You'll leave with a clear, honest map of your role and a practical plan to deliberately restructure your week around the work that matters most.

Jeremy Dalton / The Executive Language LabKnowing how to use AI is no longer the hard part. The hard part is getting your executive to trust it, fund it, and act on it. Jeremy will give you a framework for turning AI conversations with senior leaders into strategic discussions rooted in judgment, risk, and business outcomes rather than technical features. Drawing on adoption patterns from cloud, mobile, and XR, you'll learn how to handle skepticism, reframe resistance, and position yourself as the bridge between executive intent and AI capability.

Summary: Dan grounds you in what's real. Ebony shows you how to prioritise it. Carolyn helps you redesign your role around it. Jeremy shows you how to sell it upward.

The summit will conclude with some audience Q&A with our speakers.

Why should you attend?

Because AI conversations shouldn't feel like they're happening around you, not with you.

This summit gives you:

  • Real insight into how executives think about AI and what they expect from EAs.
  • Practical frameworks you can use in your next conversation, not just your next prompt.
  • Confidence to navigate AI discussions with leadership, risk teams and sceptics alike.
  • A clear understanding of where AI helps, where it causes problems, and what to never put into it.
  • No fluff. No tool lists. Just the strategic skills that set EAs apart.

If you know AI is changing your role and you want to lead that change rather than react to it, this summit is for you.
