Day 1: How to lead with AI

Practical, hands-on sessions to turn your AI curiosity into a competitive edge.

Forget theory. This day is all about doing. You’ll learn how to use AI as your Assistant, Thinker and Creator — to plan, write, analyse and strategise faster, better and with more impact. Everything’s grounded in real executive workflows, not generic use cases.

You’ll walk away with:

Confidence using tools like Copilot and ChatGPT in your daily work
A personal framework for using AI as a thought partner, not just a task-slayer
Practical capabilities that put you in the top 1% of global AI users.

2:00pm > Arrival, Registration + Afternoon Tea
2:30pm – 3:30pm > Opening Keynote - Why AI is Now & How to Get Started
Dawid Naude, CEO and Founder of AFR Award-Winning Pathfindr, cuts through the AI noise with a high-energy session exploring why the need for AI adoption is now, and why leaders are key to ‘AI that sticks.’ This session will cover:
The Critical Role of Internal AI Champions
Why building a dedicated AI taskforce isn’t optional—it’s the backbone of sustainable transformation and cultural adoption.
ChatGPT Excellence for Execs
Why every senior executive team needs to master ChatGPT, now. It’s not just about productivity; it’s about credibility, vision, and unlocking the power of everyday, off-the-shelf AI.
3:30pm – 5:00pm > Masterclass - The Exec AI Advantage: Tool Up to Get Ahead
A highly practical masterclass packed with demos and real-world tools to immediately elevate your thinking, comms and leadership impact. You’ll learn how to:
- Unlock AI’s potential beyond productivity hacks
- Reimagine products, services and revenue streams
- Lead teams into an AI-enabled future.
5:30pm – 6:30pm > Pre-Dinner AI Adventure: join us for a highly innovative, immersive mixology session customised to your location. Networking drinks, Pathfindr style.
6:30pm > Exclusive Sit-Down Dinner: enjoy a celebration of exquisite regional produce alongside the Pathfindr team & your fellow delegates.

Day 2: Reimagine your industry with AI

Zoom out. See what’s shifting. Design your next move.

This day focuses on strategic AI leadership. You’ll see how AI is reshaping industries and begin designing your own roadmap to evolve products, services and models for what’s next.

You’ll walk away with:

Real-world use cases of AI-led disruption across sectors
Tools to reimagine new revenue, service and CX opportunities
A practical grasp of AI risk, governance and implementation.

Breakfast included at the hotel at leisure
8:30am – 9:30am > Masterclass - Build Your Personal AI Strategy with ChatGPT
Why pay for an AI strategy when you can co-design one with AI? This session walks you through how to do just that, step by step. Highly interactive, with plenty of time for Q&A.
9:00am – 10:30am > Masterclass - What’s Out There & What’s Possible
A demo-rich showcase of what AI can create from visuals to voice, video to music. Discover what’s instantly doable, surprisingly affordable and wildly creative. (You might leave with an AI-generated version of yourself.)
10:30am – 10:45am > Morning Tea
10:45am – 12:30pm > Masterclass - Reimagine Existing Products & Services
Before chasing the next big thing, what if AI could level up what you’ve already built? This session will explore how to embed AI into core offerings to unlock new value and differentiation.

1:10pm – 1.50pm > Closing Keynote
AI or Die: 3 Killer Use Cases to Inspire & Ignite Your Next Move

Taking a practical “AI-for-now” approach, Dawid will also share insights on how his team has supported leading enterprises across APAC to reimagine what’s possible and achieve breakout innovation and growth.
1.50pm - 2.00pm > Q&A, Event Wrap
