AI Readiness Audit — Board Event (Melbourne)

In-person ·  · Private

Event overview

Join Think & Grow for an invite-only private dinner designed for Board Directors, NEDs and Chairs who want a practical view of what it means to be an “AI-ready” organisation. Over the evening, we’ll unpack how leading boards are treating AI as both a growth lever and a governance responsibility.

Why this dinner

Since launching our AI Practice, we’ve been working with boards, founders and CEOs who know AI matters but want clarity on what readiness actually looks like in practice. This dinner gives you a concrete, real-world view rather than abstract theory.

Inside the AI readiness audit

Our AI Practice Lead, Anneliese Urquhart, will walk through a real AI readiness audit we’ve conducted, covering both people and culture, and data structures and systems. You’ll see how we assess capability gaps, risk areas and the foundations required to safely unlock AI-driven growth.

What you’ll take away

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to frame AI at board level, what “good” looks like for AI governance, and the key questions to ask management when AI lands on your board agenda. The session is designed to be highly practical, with examples you can take straight back into your next board meeting.

Format and experience

This is a small, curated group dinner to encourage open discussion and peer learning, held at Society, 80 Collins Street on Wednesday 16th September.

The evening is designed for candid conversation, with space to compare notes with fellow directors who are working through similar AI challenges.

Who should attend

This event is for current Board Directors, NEDs and Chairs of growth-stage or enterprise organisations who are actively thinking about AI’s impact on strategy, risk and governance. Numbers are deliberately limited to keep the conversation focused and valuable for all attendees.

RSVP details

Places are limited and confirmed on a first-come basis for qualified attendees.

I wanted to say how incredible the event was. It's been a while since I was in the room with that much energy and so many impressive people. Your team has put something together that's very special.
Think & Grow's Executive Dinner has to be one of the highlights of the calendar... Also a good reminder of how strong the APAC tech community is when you get the right people in a room together.
