Outsell CEO Summit 2026
The market is moving at breakneck speed.
CEOs, COOs, MDs, and Presidents gather in London to slow down
to speed up, meet new people, get deals done, and roll up their sleeves.

1 October 2026

Stationers' Hall, London, United Kingdom

THE THEME

Finding the ROI in AI

Everything about the way we operate is accelerating. CEOs are telling us their ‘word of the day’ ranges from brittle to resilient, pragmatic to optimistic, and from keeping up to missing out. Trust and empathy remain critical — whether for our teams, our customers, or our owners. Go fast, reinvent businesses, deliver results.

We are in the industry’s fourth platform change in 30 years. AI, alongside geopolitics and changing demographics, are the rivers running through everything we do. No matter the business model or the customers who fund our solutions, this is the place to consider the issues operators face today.

Designed for CEOs, COOs, MDs, and Presidents running P&Ls and businesses in data, information, media, events, and those who’ve made the leap into SaaS and intelligence systems.

One Day. Deep Learning. Rich Networking.

Networking, Coffee, & Registration

9:15 AM – 9:25 AM

Welcome & Opening Remarks

Findings from the Outsell Accelerate A! Benchmark™

AI is everywhere. ROI is not. Drawing on the latest Outsell Accelerate A! Benchmark™, Anthea Stratigos shares where CEOs are getting results, where investments are falling short, and what separates leaders from followers. Leave with a clear view of where your peers are placing their bets – and where you should be placing yours.

9:30 AM – 10:00 AM

A View From the Top

Markets change. Business models evolve. Technology rewrites the rules.

Great leaders stay ahead.

Speaker TBA

10:05 AM – 10:25 AM

Ethical AI

AI is moving fast. Trust takes longer.

As AI becomes part of every product and workflow, leaders must balance speed with responsibility. This session looks at the principles that help organizations build trust, manage risk, and deploy AI in ways customers, employees, and regulators can stand behind.

10:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Building the Business Model Moat

Every CEO needs a moat.

Content alone is no longer enough. Neither is technology. Learn how CEOs, boards, and investors are building businesses that combine proprietary data, intelligent systems, human expertise, and customer workflows to create lasting advantage. What really is a moat and how do you build yours before someone else does? 

Speaker TBA

11:00 AM – 11:35 AM

Networking Break

The best conversations rarely happen on stage.

Take time to compare notes, challenge ideas, and meet leaders tackling many of the same issues you are. Sometimes the next big idea starts over coffee.

11:40 AM – 12:10 PM

Delivering New Revenue from AI Licensing

AI is creating new buyers, new products, and new revenue streams.

But the rules are changing. Learn how leaders are pricing, licensing, and packaging content and data for AI. Whether you’re buying, selling, or both, understand where value is shifting and how to capture it.

Speaker TBA

12:15 PM – 12:35 PM

How Buyers Buy and Where B2B Marketing Misses the Boat

Buyers have changed.

Many go from question to answer before ever speaking to sales. AI is changing how they search, compare, and decide. Learn what buyers expect today – and why many marketing teams are still solving yesterday’s problem.

Speaker TBA

12:40 PM – 1:40 PM

Networking Lunch

Slow down to speed up.

Share ideas with fellow CEOs, compare notes, and build relationships that last well beyond today. Some of the Summit’s best insights happen over lunch.

1:45 PM – 2:15 PM

Flow or Friction: Customer Demands Meet Licensing Realities

Customers want trusted content inside AI workflows.

That means retrieval, MCPs, AI agents, BYOL, and new ways to license information. It also means new questions about rights, governance, and commercial terms. Hear how buyers and providers are working through these issues – and where the market is heading next.

Speaker TBA

2:20 PM – 2:50 PM

Build, Buy, or Partner? MCP and AI Infrastructure Bets

You can’t build everything.

As AI platforms mature, organizations must decide where to invest, where to partner, and where to move fast. Hear how leaders are thinking about MCPs, AI infrastructure, and the choices that will shape the next generation of products.

Speaker TBA

2:55 PM – 3:25 PM

Organizing for AI Execution

Technology doesn’t transform companies. People do.

The winners are redesigning teams, roles, and operating models – not just buying better tools. Learn how leading organizations are moving from pilots to execution and turning AI into everyday work.

Speaker TBA

3:25 PM – 3:55 PM

Networking Break

Pause. Recharge. Connect.

Use this time to continue the conversation, meet someone new, and exchange ideas with peers who are facing the same opportunities—and the same challenges.

4:00 PM – 4:15 PM

Managing & Measuring AI ROI

Everyone is asking the same question: Where’s the ROI?

The Outsell Accelerate A! Benchmark™ begins to answer it.

We’ll start with a rapid look at the research, showing how leading organizations are moving beyond AI activity to measurable business outcomes.

Limber Up: Building the Agile, Improvisational, AI First Organization

In this age of great uncertainty, the best leaders know how to listen, adapt, and act without having all the answers (or any of their lines!). Drawing on his experience as both a CEO and professional improviser, Chip Brewer shares why Improv skills are becoming crucial leadership skills and how you can improve your company’s teamwork, storytelling, and stagecraft so you are ready for whatever comes next.

EVENT CALENDAR


PAST EVENTS

RevvedUP is a Revenue Room™ CXO event, co-produced by H2K Labs and Outsell

Who Should Attend RevvedUP?

CEOs and their revenue-critical C-suite teams who are serious about accelerating revenue growth, amplifying profitability and fueling enterprise value using data and AI.

Most Will Follow. A Few Will Redefine the Future.

Created and owned by H2K Labs and co-produced with Outsell, it’s the flagship Revenue Room™ CXO event, uniting two powerhouse CEO networks into one platform built for speed, precision, and transformation.

Over two days of keynotes, Growth Design Labs, and peer-led sessions, leaders will move from strategy to execution — turning AI disruption, data convergence, and business model upheaval into competitive advantage.

Because in the age of AI, speed is strategy — and RevvedUP is where leaders master both.

RevvedUP 2026 isn’t for the complacent. It’s for the CEOs and C-suite leaders who refuse to cling to obsolete playbooks. AI is collapsing the line between B2B and B2C. Data is redefining growth itself. Media models are converging, and disruption is no longer a threat; it’s the norm.
