Emerging Technologies
Opportunities and Challenges
Thursday 25 June 2026
9.30am – 4pm
London
In association with Wavestone
Emerging technologies continue to redefine the cybersecurity landscape at pace. Join us as we explore the transformative opportunities and challenges posed by advancements in privacy-enhancing technologies and private computation.
As developers increasingly use AI systems to reduce time to deployment, we consider how AI applications and agents can fail in practice, and the strategies that can be used to reduce those risks.
Many organisations providing leading-edge products and services grow through venture capital investment. Understanding how VCs operate strategically – particularly in supporting companies that are responding to, and making use of, emerging technologies – is important for both those companies and their customers.
We’ll hear valuable insights from technology leaders on how we can understand and manage the risks presented by these emerging technologies and business practices.
All SASIG events operate under the Chatham House Rule, and there is no charge to attend. Our hosts will kindly provide lunch and refreshments.
