About Frontier Forum
Join Microsoft and Transparity for Frontier Forum, an executive summit designed to help senior business and technology leaders share insight and experiences, quantify AI maturity, get inspired by cutting-edge demos and define the practical next steps required to become more efficient, more adaptive and more competitive in the age of AI.
Why attend
AI ambition is everywhere. Frontier-grade execution is harder. Most organisations are under pressure to modernise, automate and scale AI faster, but the reality is more complex: technical debt, fragmented data, inconsistent adoption, governance concerns and competing investment priorities can quickly slow momentum.
Frontier Forum is built for leaders who need to move beyond experimentation and make AI practical, trusted and measurable. Across a focused day of keynote insight, Microsoft perspectives, customer stories, live demonstrations, guided discussion and peer networking, you will explore where you are today, what’s holding progress back and what the next right step is for your organisation.
The agenda’s five threads
Every session, demo and discussion across the day maps back to one of five practical business ambitions.
Do more with the same team by reducing manual effort, improving productivity and freeing your people to focus on higher-value work.
Rethink core processes and operating models when legacy ways of working are too slow, too costly or too difficult to scale.
Identify where AI adds value to your offering, helping create new products, services and competitive advantage.
Help people use AI safely and effectively, moving from patchy adoption to confident, role-relevant usage.
Ensure your data, platforms, security, governance and skills are strong enough to support AI at scale.

AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights below. We'll send the full timed agenda and speaker list shortly.
We open the day by framing the gap between AI intent and operational execution, introducing the Frontier Assessment and setting up the core question: how ready are you to turn ambition into measurable progress?
A high-impact external perspective to challenge thinking, energise the room and explore why the next phase of AI transformation will reward organisations that can move with clarity, confidence and control.
Transparity will share the latest research and market insight, exploring where organisations are on the Frontier journey today, where momentum is building and where reality is still catching up with ambition.
Fresh from Microsoft Ignite, this session will bring the Microsoft lens into the room, translating the latest announcements into practical implications for leaders planning their Frontier journey.
Delegates will rotate through active discussion groups aligned to five real-world ambitions: efficiency, reinvention, differentiation, empowerment and readiness. Each stream will combine a customer zero anecdote, a practical demo and a real customer story to bring the discussion back to tangible value.
The day will close by bringing the room back together to review live findings, discuss what the results say about the market and outline the next steps available to delegates, including Frontier Funding, bookable 1:1 sessions and follow-up conversations with Transparity specialists.

Our approach is grounded in Customer Zero thinking: using our own transformation, customer evidence and repeatable playbooks to help leaders move from isolated AI pilots to secure, scalable and measurable business value.
