Leadership Dinners
Advisory boards, co-founders, executive hires, strategic partners. The relationships that matter most in a career are still built the way they always have been: in person, through honest conversation. That's why Longview starts with the dinner table.
Longview Leadership Dinners bring together 12–16 Directors, VPs, and Heads of AI and Data Science for an evening of candid conversation. Each dinner is held in a venue chosen for quality and for an environment conducive to real engagement.
The format is deliberately simple. We get together to discuss the real challenges of leading AI teams, navigating executive expectations, and making consequential decisions under uncertainty.
Oh, and we enjoy excellent food and drink.

More ways we connect
Virtual Roundtables
Focused, 90-minute discussions on a single topic with 8–12 senior AI leaders. Facilitated for depth, not breadth. Open to all Longview members regardless of location.
Each roundtable is built around a single challenge that matters to AI leaders, typically suggested by a member. Recent sessions have covered building an AI strategy for a unique vertical, hiring for roles that didn't exist two years ago, sovereignty vs supply-chain resilience, and how to keep up with technology change without getting overwhelmed.
Sessions run under Chatham House rules: no recordings, no attribution. Members regularly leave with strategies they can implement in their own organisations after pressure-testing and refining them with their peers.
Expert Sessions
Conversations with leading practitioners, researchers, and executives shaping the field.
In 2025, we hosted 14 sessions covering topics including AI governance under the EU AI Act, building executive trust in AI investments, spotting emerging AI capabilities to build a strategic talent pipeline, AI risk essentials for AI leaders, and how to advise a board on AI.
Our guest speakers have come from organisations including The Alan Turing Institute, IBM, The Associated Press, The Dalle Molle Institute for AI, Glencore, and Signal AI.
