April 29, 2026 | Hosted at ASML, Veldhoven. NE
The Pace of Change in a world of AI
In a world where AI is colliding with silicon at unprecedented scale, digital transformation is no longer a “technology program” – it is how large enterprises compete, allocate capital, and operate. The Amsterdam session brings the Executive Technology Board into the heart of the semiconductor ecosystem with ASML, whose technology underpins much of the world’s compute capacity.
This interim page is a placeholder for the full agenda, but the core shape of the day is clear: a closed-door boardroom conversation including a deep, inside look at how ASML is re-imagining its own business through data, AI, and automation.
Closed-Door Executive Sessions
Confidential, Chatham House–rule discussions among CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and CAIOs focused on:
- How AI is reshaping digital transformation roadmaps and investment theses
- Architectures that can absorb rapid innovation without creating fragility
- Operating models that align product, platforms, and business outcomes
The detailed topics and speakers will be confirmed closer to the date, but the format will remain a board-style, off-the-record exchange.
Inside ASML – Digital & AI in Practice:
- A guided deep dive into how ASML approaches digital transformation across R&D, manufacturing, and services
- How they are using data, analytics, and AI to drive reliability, throughput, and customer outcomes
- Lessons learned on platform choices, governance, and talent in a mission-critical environment
Why Netherlands, Why ASML
ASML sits at the center of a uniquely demanding environment:
- ultra-complex, safety-critical engineering
- global supply chains and long-cycle capital programs
- massive data exhaust from design, manufacturing, and field operations
This setting creates a powerful context for our discussions on:
- running AI at industrial scale
- designing resilient, interoperable platform architectures
- evolving operating models across business, IT, and engineering
An optional Day 2 - Draft
We are in early stages of planning a “hands on” session with half a dozen leading AI startups - in a closed door format - where be “build an agent” using technologies from innovative startups like Eleven Labs, Hugging Face, Loveable, Miro, N8N, Synthesia.
Next Steps
The full agenda, confirmed speakers, and logistics will be published as we get closer to April 29, 2026. For now, please treat this as a save-the-date for a concentrated, closed-door working session anchored by an inside look at one of the most important companies in the global technology stack.
