EDII Digital Minds
at the Royal Institution
24th June 2026 @ 2:00 - 6:45PM
The Royal Institution, 21 Albemarle Street, London, W1S 4BS
A Digital Minds Alumni Network Event, in Partnership with CGI
Join fellow Digital Minds community members for an unmissable afternoon at the Royal Institution - the home of ground-breaking ideas for over 200 years.
Representatives from the Ri will open with an introduction to its work, and attendees will have the opportunity to later visit the Faraday Museum, home to over 200 years of pioneering science, including many discoveries that have shaped the modern world.
Then the afternoon focuses on two big themes shaping our industry: gaining deeper visibility of events today, and stress-testing how operating models perform under disruption.
CGI’s Virtual Flight Recorder
Managing risk now requires more than analysing events - it depends on having a clear, real-time understanding of what is happening and why. By capturing and bringing together data across systems, CGI's virtual flight recorder allows organisations to reconstruct incidents, understand what happened and why, and build a more complete and trusted view of events. Originally developed in safety-critical environments, it supports stronger insight, accountability and more informed decision-making.
Interactive Futures Workshop
In this hands-on session, we'll explore a plausible 2030 ‘Agentic AI’ scenario and stress-test how operating models, controls, and governance would need to evolve in response.
