Agenda: London

Where business-as-usual takes the day off

Break the mould of the typical conference defined by beige carpets and windowless ballrooms. Come together at OXO2 along the creative stretch of London’s South Bank. With city and river views, the repurposed industrial space is a fitting spot for new ideas in enablement.

Get a peek inside the sessions.

Prove It or Lose It: Enablement’s ROI Reckoning

Revenue execs never get a break from the C-suite’s ROI inquiries, and the impact of enablement — initiatives, teams, and expenses — are no exception. In this hands-on workshop led by Vanessa Metcalf, VP of Revenue Enablement and star of our Lessons in Excellence video series, you’ll roll up your sleeves and apply a value realization framework built to speak the language of the boardroom. You’ll leave with a persuasive narrative ready to put into action the very next day.

How I Built This: 
Rev Enablement Edition

Put down the B-school books and set aside theory. Instead, get a candid walkthrough of an enablement initiative — from messy starting point to measurable business impact. Whether an ABM push, M&A pivot, or shift to services-selling, the real-world experiences of fellow revenue leaders offer a front-row seat to what worked (and what didn’t) along the way. Come for the playbook, stay for the pitfalls.

Is Your Sales Org Really Ready for AI?

Buying B2B AI is easy. Even unavoidable in 2025. Reaping bottomline results from it is another story. In this interactive session, assess your company’s AI readiness through a live diagnostic and see how your results stack up against your peers. Walk away with a clear-eyed view of where your org stands and the next steps, from better data hygiene to field-ready workflows, to align your systems, people, and processes to unlock AI’s potential across sales, marketing, and enablement.

The 6 Biggest Mistakes You’re Making with AI in the Field

AI investments rarely underperform because the software is flawed. They fail because the rollout is: aimless pilots, superficial training, metrics no one knows how to find. Flying in from the tech capital of Belgium, Showpad’s Bram De Geyter, unpacks common go-to-market missteps with AI, then leads a peer exchange on how to avoid them. You’ll get ideas on how to embed AI into critical workflows, accelerate adoption (even excitement!), and drive impact where it matters: in front of the customer.

Intel beyond the formal programming

Go off-script with other execs across healthcare, medical devices, and manufacturing throughout the London workshop.
