Tech Monitor’s Roundtable: Data Sovereignty and AI: Rethinking Cloud Infrastructure in Europe in partnership with AMD, taking place in London on the 24th September 2025. For enterprise organisations, cloud adoption is not a single moment in time. In an era of change characterized by geopolitical volatility and technological advancement, the nature and shape of an enterprise cloud strategy is – or should be – up for debate, subject to transformation. Take data sovereignty, for example. Is it time to reconsider reliance on US hyperscalers when the residency and protection of geographically-sensitive data cannot be assured? If it is, what other public cloud services are worth considering? And how would adoption work in practice? Meanwhile, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is making new demands of compute, hardware, software and services. And it’s asking big questions of the business, too, from ethics and accuracy to environmental sustainability. In short, it’s time to rethink cloud infrastructure. To help you make sense of the present and the future – and to share best practice – Tech Monitor and AMD are inviting a select group of IT executives to a special evening of discussion and exploration. We’ll examine the changing cloud landscape and among the topics we’ll discuss:

• Data sovereignty and privacy
• The pros and cons of hyperscalers
• The adoption challenges of generative AI
• Sourcing large language models (LLMs)
• Data centre strategy and sustainability
• Data residency, compliance, and auditability

  Do join us for what promises to be an evening of lively and insightful conversation, excellent food, and great company.

Tech Monitor’s Roundtable: Building A Resilient Future: Strategies & Tactics in partnership with Cisco, taking place in London on the 2nd October 2025.

• Network and security resilience
• Architecture simplification
• Future-proofing digital infrastructure
• Zero trust architectures
• Digital resilience strategies
• AI-driven risk mitigation
• Autonomous IT operations

Overview

In an era marked by multiple internal and external factors, companies and their finance functions are having to be reimagined from the ground up — not just optimised.

Join us for an exclusive, invitation-only dinner where Roland Andersen, CFO of FLSmidth, will share insights on his own organisation’s transformation journey, and for a discussion amongst finance leaders on how to reshape operating models to drive agility, resilience, and leveraging AI to deliver strategic influence across the enterprise.

Tech Monitor’s Roundtable: Enterprise IT Reinvented: Powering Intelligence with AI and Hybrid Cloud in partnership with Lenovo, taking place in London on the 23rd September 2025.

Tech Monitor’s Roundtable: Deploying AI: Balancing Power, Performance and Place in partnership with AMD, taking place in Stockholm on the 18th September 2025. An English-language executive roundtable event for senior IT decision makers   Artificial intelligence (AI), in all its forms, remains the engine of innovation for most enterprise organisations. That’s the case whether those organisations have embarked on AI projects already or are still assessing where best to place their investment.   Smart deployment of AI – and generative AI (GenAI), in particular – promises to deliver efficiency savings and productivity gains, coupled with meaningful change that pushes at the limits of modernisation. It’s not just about doing things faster but doing things better, too. Or to put it another way, it’s about process reinvention as well as process optimisation.   AI deployment is not without its challenges, however. From platforms to software, and from infrastructure to the processors that power compute, there are decisions to be made, and trade-offs to consider. These include balancing efficiency and effectiveness – choosing whether to house workloads on-premise in the cloud and assessing when and where to deploy graphics processing units (GPUs) and when to rely on central processing units (CPUs).     To help make sense of the current environment, and to share best practice, Tech Monitor and AMD are inviting a select group of senior IT executives to a special evening of discussion and exploration. This roundtable dinner is part of a series of events taking place across Europe and the Middle East that put technology practitioners at the heart of the conversation.    As well as infrastructure experts from AMD, the evening will feature a senior subject matter expert from Silo AI, the largest private AI lab in Europe. Now part of AMD, Silo AI’s team of world-class AI scientists and engineers brings experience of creating cutting-edge AI models, platforms and solutions for large enterprise customers including Allianz, Philips, Rolls-Royce and Unilever.   Among the topics we’ll discuss: 

• Exploring the extent and limits of AI / GenAI 

• Managing AI workloads on-premise and in the cloud 

• Choosing between CPUs and GPUs 

• Overcoming software hurdles 

• Rethinking cloud computing: The merits of hybrid and multi-cloud 

• Cloud exits strategies, and other regulatory considerations 

• Data privacy, sovereignty, and resilience 

• Cost-realisation, TCO and ROI 

   Do join us for what promises to be an evening of thought-provoking and insightful conversation among industry peers and technology experts
