Chatham House Principles & Conduct
Senior leaders and government participants require an ironclad trust environment. This protocol sets out how confidentiality is enforced at AIX Summit 2026.
The Chatham House Rule
“When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.”
1. Application to Executive Roundtables
The executive roundtables across both afternoon sessions (14:30–16:00 and 16:30–18:00) operate strictly under the Chatham House Rule. All remarks, case experiences, internal challenges, and risk observations shared during each 75-minute session are completely non-attributable.
Participants are encouraged to speak openly regarding deployment bottlenecks, regulatory hurdles, technical failures, and audited ROI without concern that specific remarks will be cited outside the suite.
2. Rapporteurs & The AIX Roundtable Signals Publication
Each roundtable suite includes an independent AIX rapporteur. The rapporteur is tasked with recording strategic arguments, cross-cutting themes, and structural industry bottlenecks — strictly without personal or organisational attribution.
The resulting synthesis forms the basis of the published AIX Roundtable Signals research report in mid-January 2027. Any sponsor perspectives included in the report are explicitly demarcated as partner contributions.
3. Sponsor and Chair Guardrails
Roundtable Chair partners lead discussions by presenting genuine operational problems and framing discussion vectors. The following rules are strictly enforced:
- Sessions may not be used for direct commercial selling or product pitching.
- Sponsors may not record audio or video within the closed-door roundtable suites.
- Sponsor executives are bound by the same confidentiality standards as invited delegates.
4. Photography & Media Access
Accredited media are permitted only within the public AI Showcase area and designated foyer moments. Media representatives are strictly barred from entering the executive roundtables.
Official summit photographers are prohibited from capturing identifiable discussion documents, laptop screens, or confidential participant notes during roundtable sessions.
