Constellation Research Brings AI Forum to New York City on September 24

Executive leaders, AI pioneers, and Constellation analysts will gather at the Harvard Club of New York City to tackle the next phase of enterprise AI

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As artificial intelligence moves rapidly from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, Constellation Research will bring together business and technology leaders for the AI Forum on September 24, 2026, at the Harvard Club of New York City.

The one-day executive event will explore the decisions organizations face as AI moves beyond copilots and recommendations toward systems that can make decisions, take action, and operate with increasing autonomy.

AI Forum is designed for senior executives navigating the opportunities and risks of AI adoption, including CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, Chief Data Officers, Chief AI Officers, security and risk leaders, digital transformation executives, and board members. The program combines Constellation analyst insights with perspectives from AI practitioners, early adopters, technology leaders, and innovators.

"AI is moving from a technology conversation to a leadership conversation," said R "Ray" Wang, Principal Analyst and Founder of Constellation Research. "The question is no longer whether organizations will use AI. It's how they will decide what to automate, what to govern, where humans need to stay in the loop, and how they create real business value while managing the risks. AI Forum brings the people making those decisions into one room for the conversations that matter now."

The September 24 agenda will tackle some of the most pressing questions facing enterprise leaders, including:

• When should AI be trusted to make decisions? Leaders will explore how organizations can determine which decisions can be automated while balancing speed, economics, risk, and human judgment.
• What does trusted agentic AI require? Sessions will examine the business context, data, policies, permissions, and operational state AI agents need before organizations allow them to act.
• Who is accountable when AI gets it wrong? Executives and board leaders will discuss how responsibility for AI outcomes, risk, and governance must evolve as AI systems become more autonomous.
• How will AI reshape the workforce? Leaders will examine what happens when managers are responsible for teams that include people, AI agents, and automation.
• What happens when customers have AI agents? The forum will explore how AI-driven buying and decision-making could change customer experience, loyalty, commerce, and enterprise strategy.
• How should leaders approach sovereign AI and geopolitics? Experts will examine the growing connection between AI, national competitiveness, infrastructure, security, and enterprise technology strategy.

The forum will also feature the 2026 AI150 induction, recognizing a new class of leaders advancing the use of artificial intelligence across organizations.

Throughout the day, attendees will have opportunities to engage directly with Constellation analysts and fellow executives through interactive sessions and executive networking.

"AI Forum is intentionally designed to go beyond the hype," said Wang. "The most valuable conversations happen when leaders can be candid about what is working, what isn't, and what they are still trying to figure out. That is what makes this community so valuable."

Constellation's AI Forum takes place on September 24, 2026, at the Harvard Club of New York City, 27 West 44th Street, New York, NY. Registration is currently open.
