AI Leadership Retreat

Registrations are open
What is real leadership for an artificially intelligent world? Whether you’re building AI-native from day one, or transforming an existing business, the challenge is the same: how do you design a resilient company, and human agency, that thrives in the AI era?

This retreat, in the spectacular sacred ancient woodland of the Wasing Estate, is for founders and CEOs who want to step out of the noise, reset how they think, and lead what comes next.

Boardwave is partnering with WellFounded to invite you to the AI Leadership Reset, a two-day immersive retreat navigating one of the most profound shifts in technology history.

Following our Silicon Valley Insider Week, where we heard a shared consistent message: the old playbooks are over, this retreat is designed to help European leaders translate that insight into action.This retreat creates space to step out of that cycle.

19-20 May 2026
