That's a wrap on Rev London

One clear signal: the organizations furthest ahead in enterprise AI didn't wait for an agent's mistake to define who's accountable. They built the seat before the bill came due.

Three themes defined London

The agent era needs an owner, not just a budget

Enterprises are burning through AI budgets in weeks because no one owns the stop rule, the call on which agent acts and when it halts. The firms moving fastest have already filled that seat.

Software's new modality is the app, not the model

Generative AI changed not just what software can do, but how fast it's built and who builds it. The organizations pulling ahead bake governance and auditability in from the start, not after a prototype demos well.

Consolidation is the unlock, not just cleanup

Every customer story followed the same arc: years fragmented across siloed tools and teams, then a push onto one governed platform. The payoff was reuse, of models, workflows, and knowledge, not just tidier infrastructure.
WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING

"We're switching from being custodians to orchestrating the intelligence of that data."

Leonardo Reyes
Global Head of Data Science
WPP

"Early demos really looked magical — but first production attempts hurt, because capability doesn't equal production readiness."

Thomas Reichert
Data Scientist
Helvetia

"Scaling teams build the integrator function before the crisis, stalling teams wait for the bill to come due."

Keynote
Redefining the data scientist for the agentic era

Eduardo Arino de la Rubia of Central European University, and formerly Sr. Director of Data Science at Meta, will share how data science organizations and data scientist skillsets must evolve for the agentic era, and discuss diagnostics for calibrated confidence - in a time of multidimensional uncertainty.

AI in production - Where it truly elevates, and where it doesn’t

AI amplifies what's already there—good or bad. Hear honest lessons from building two contrasting systems: a deterministic pricing engine and an agentic financial planning tool. Discover where AI genuinely elevates, where it amplifies chaos, and why governance and observability make all the difference.

Low friction, high compliance: AstraZeneca enables scientists to move faster, together

When the compliant path is too painful, scientists find another way. AstraZeneca shares how it built a self-service environment where compliance is the default, not a barrier, and what that shift has enabled across drug discovery, development, and enterprise AI at scale.

One platform, many owners: Governed infra for autonomous data science teams

The real AI bottleneck isn't the model—it's infrastructure. Hear first-hand lessons from building an enterprise data science platform across decentralised teams in analytics, risk, and audit, and learn why organisations consistently underestimate the skills and investment required to scale.
