Evidence-led recognition

The live expression of the AIX research and awards cycle.

The AIX Global Summit is not a conference in the conventional sense. It does not have a call for speakers, a sponsor-driven agenda or a multi-track programme. Its content comes entirely from the AIX Awards and Research process.

Award winners and shortlisted organisations present their verified case studies. Invited advisors from the AIX Council contribute to discussion and framing. The day closes with the AIX Awards recognition moment.

Whether the Summit takes place in person in Barcelona or in a hybrid or virtual format depends on the confirmation rate from award winners. That decision will be made mid-programme cycle — not assumed in advance.

Not a conference. The live benchmark.

Content from research, not from submissions

Every case study presented at the Summit has been through the AIX Awards evaluation process. The agenda is shaped by what the research identifies — not by who submits a speaking proposal.

Invitation-only attendance

There are no walk-in tickets. The room is built from award winners, shortlisted organisations, invited advisors and selected practitioners. The quality of the audience is a programme design decision.

Cross-sector by design

Financial services, telecoms, retail, travel, healthcare share one agenda. The most valuable insight is often what one industry learns from another's verified deployment.

Connected to a year-round cycle

The Summit is the final step in a programme that runs all year: AIX Research identifies candidates, AIX Awards evaluates them, AIX Council advises on standards. The Summit delivers the live expression of all three.

Evidence, not aspiration

Presentations are structured around the problem addressed, the deployment model, the governance controls applied, and the outcomes measured. No AI commentary, no product showcases.

Recognition with benchmark value

The AIX Awards recognition at the close of the Summit is tied to the evaluation process — not to attendance, sponsorship or submission quality. A win is a verified record, not a trophy.

The Summit is the final step in a year-round cycle.

Without AIX Research and AIX Awards, there is no Summit content. The four pillars depend on each other.

AIX Research

Continuous monitoring identifies real AI-CX deployments globally — before any invitation is issued.

→ About Research

AIX Awards

Identified organisations are invited to provide structured evidence. Evaluation is independent. Recognition is selective.

→ About Awards

AIX Council

Invited advisors guide evaluation standards and contribute to Summit discussion as intellectual anchors of the day.

Registration and welcome coffee
Delegate registration, introductions and poster exhibition preview.
09:00
Opening
Opening remarks — what AIX Research found this year
The Summit opens with a summary of what AIX Research identified across the five covered industries — and why today's case studies matter.
  • Why the AI market needs independently verified case studies, not aspirational claims
  • What AIX Research found in 2026 across the five covered industries
  • How today's presentations connect to the year-round research and awards cycle
09:20
Framing
Framing session — invited advisor or senior practitioner
An invited AIX Council advisor sets the context: what is AI-led customer experience actually changing, and what does the evidence show so far?
  • Which AI-CX deployments are live at meaningful scale — and which remain aspirational?
  • What patterns emerge across sectors when you compare verified evidence rather than claims?
  • What governance and measurement questions are consistently under-addressed?
10:00
Cases
Case study session 1 — verified deployments, three organisations
Three award winners or shortlisted organisations present their verified case studies. Structured format: problem, deployment, governance, outcomes, lessons. 12–15 minutes each.
  • What customer problem the AI deployment was designed to solve
  • How the system was built, governed and tested before live deployment
  • What changed for customers — measured, not estimated
  • What the organisation would do differently if starting again
11:15
Break
Coffee break and poster exhibition
Delegate networking. Poster case studies on display. Video presentation loop running.
11:45
Cases
Case study session 2 — verified deployments, three organisations
Three further case study presentations. Mix of in-person and video format. Structured format maintained across all presentations for comparability.
  • Presentations drawn from different sectors to enable cross-industry comparison
  • Video presentations for organisations where travel was not feasible
  • Brief facilitated Q&A after each presentation
12:45
Lunch
Lunch and poster exhibition
Informal networking. Poster exhibition open. Video presentations on loop.
14:00
Cases
Case study session 3 — verified deployments, three organisations
Afternoon case study block. Presentations from the remaining award winners and shortlisted organisations. In-person and video formats.
  • Afternoon block focuses on sectors not yet represented in the morning
  • Same structured format: problem, deployment, governance, outcomes, lessons
  • Each presentation reviewed against the same AIX evidence standard
15:15
Break
Afternoon break and poster exhibition
Coffee break. Final opportunity to view poster case studies before the closing discussion.
15:45
Discussion
Synthesis discussion — what the case studies show
An advisor-led conversation drawing on what was presented across the day. What patterns emerged? What questions remain? What does the evidence actually tell us?
  • Cross-sector patterns: what do the day's deployments have in common?
  • What governance and measurement approaches distinguished the strongest cases?
  • What should AIX Research prioritise tracking in the next cycle?
16:45
Close
Close of daytime programme
Closing remarks. How today's case studies will be archived in the AIX Research record. What comes next for the programme.
19:00
Gala
AIX Awards Gala — Recognition for Verified AI-CX Excellence
The recognition ceremony for organisations whose AI deployments have been assessed through the AIX Awards evaluation process. Evidence-led. Selective. Not every category is awarded every year.
  • Sector recognition across the five covered industries
  • Cross-sector honours for outstanding governance, accessibility or innovation
  • Winner citations focused on verified customer outcomes — not marketing narrative
  • Approved photography and professionally produced press release cleared for immediate use

Final programme structure — including number of case study presentations and session timings — will be confirmed once award winner participation is secured. The format and location (in-person Barcelona / hybrid / virtual) will be confirmed at the same point.

Three ways to present a case study.

To make the Summit accessible for organisations that cannot travel to Barcelona, three presentation formats are offered. All three are given the same programme status.

Format 01
Live in-person presentation

The organisation presents their case study directly at the Summit in Barcelona. Recommended for award winners where travel is feasible. 12–15 minutes with a brief facilitated Q&A. This is the preferred format where possible.

Format 02
Pre-recorded video presentation

The organisation submits a 10–15 minute video of their case study, produced to AIX programme standards. Played at the Summit with a short introduction. Suitable for organisations in Asia Pacific or other long-haul geographies where travel is not practical.

Format 03
Poster exhibition

A structured one-page visual summary of the case study, displayed on the exhibition area throughout the Summit day. Delegates interact with poster content during breaks and networking sessions. Suitable for organisations that cannot commit to a live slot.

All three formats follow the same structured content framework: the problem the AI deployment addressed · the deployment model and timeline · governance controls applied · outcomes measured for customers · lessons the organisation would share. The structure enables comparison across presentations regardless of format.

Three populations. Each invited through a different route.

01

Award winners and shortlisted organisations

Organisations that have gone through the AIX Awards process. Invited to present their verified case studies in person, by video or through poster exhibition.

Role: Case-study presenters — the core content of the day
02

Invited advisors and framing contributors

Invited specialists from the AIX Council — academics, senior practitioners and sector experts — contributing opening framing, synthesis discussion and the intellectual anchor of the day.

Role: Discussion leaders and framing contributors
03

Invited and registered delegates

Senior practitioners, executives and ecosystem participants attending as audience and discussion participants. Places are limited. Attendance is curated and invitation-led, with a paid delegate pathway for senior practitioners outside the Awards process.

Role: Peer audience and discussion participants

What delegates take away.

01

Verified case-study intelligence

Structured lessons from real deployments — problem, model, outcomes, governance, failure modes — not polished keynotes or vendor presentations.

02

Cross-sector comparison

Compare how different industries are solving related AI-CX problems. The Summit is deliberately cross-sector — this perspective is not available at any single-industry event.

03

Evidence and governance standards

Understand how leading organisations are measuring customer outcomes, building governance controls and reporting AI-CX progress to boards and regulators.

04

Peer access at the right level

An invitation-only room. Every person present is an award participant, invited advisor or curated delegate. Conversations happen between peers doing the same class of work.

05

A documented case study record

For presenting organisations: a professionally produced case study record that is usable with boards, regulators, commercial partners and talent markets after the Summit.

06

Entry into the AIX World ecosystem

Summit attendance connects participants to the AIX Council advisory network and the year-round AIX Research and Awards cycle — not just a single event.

Five founding industries.

Case studies at the Summit are drawn from these five industries — where AI deployment at the customer interface is already strategically material and independently measurable.

Sector 01
Financial Services & Insurance

Banking, payments, insurance, wealth, fintech. Conversational banking, fraud resolution, onboarding, claims automation, risk decisioning.

Sector 02
Telecoms & Digital Platforms

Telecoms operators, super apps, digital platforms. Service automation, churn management, next-best action, proactive retention.

Sector 03
Retail, Commerce & Consumer Platforms

Retailers, marketplaces, loyalty ecosystems. Recommendation, conversational commerce, post-purchase service, loyalty personalisation.

Sector 04
Travel, Hospitality & Mobility

Airlines, hotels, travel platforms, ride-hailing. Disruption management, itinerary personalisation, service recovery, loyalty AI.

Sector 05
Healthcare, Life Sciences & Public Services

Healthcare providers, public-sector agencies. Patient navigation, triage support, accessibility, multilingual service, citizen self-service.

Future expansion

Additional sectors may be added as the programme develops — including energy and utilities, media and entertainment, and other markets where AI-CX is measurable and strategically material.

Barcelona, Spain  ·  Thursday, 19 November 2026

Barcelona provides a strong international setting for the inaugural AIX Global Summit — combining global accessibility, premium conference infrastructure and a strong European policy context for AI and technology regulation.

The AIX Global Summit is global in scope. Barcelona is the host city, not the subject of the programme. Case studies are drawn from implementations across five continents and five industries.
