With many colleagues returning from the holiday season we wanted to take the opportunity to remind you of the 2026 BIIA Leadership Forum that is taking place from November 11th to 12th, at the JW Marriott Hotel and Suites, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

As mentioned in previous communications and covered in our industry newsletters and breaking news publications, the use of autonomous technologies such as AI in mainstream business operations is highlighting the importance of governance, trusted data, digital identity, responsible innovation and sustainability

Our 2026 Leadership Forum will discuss these topics with a focus on Governance of AI and Sustainability and how they impact the information industry and the industries that members serve.

In the meantime, to register to attend the Forum please click here.

We will be announcing our guest speakers who will be leading these discussions in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye on your inbox. 

As with the previous Forums, the event will be free to attend for senior management from within BIIA member organisations and will consist of a networking reception and dinner on the evening of the 11th followed by a roundtable on the 12th finishing mid-afternoon.

To ensure an active and open dialogue at the meeting attendance is limited to no more than three delegates from each member and discussions will be held under ‘Chatham House’ rules. 

JW Marriott Hotel

For those who wish to stay at the JW Marriott Hotel and Suites, where the meeting is being held, we have negotiated a special discounted rate from November 9th to November 15th.

To book your accommodation using the special discounted rate please click here.

Please note that as with previous Forums, members will be responsible for their own hotel accommodation and travel costs incurred in attending the event.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our members, Worldbox, CreditorWatch and FiinGroup for their financial support to enable the event to take place.

In order to be able to host the Leadership Forum, BIIA is seeking additional financial support for the event. If you would be willing to provide such support and through this have the opportunity to promote your organisation to this unique meeting of senior leaders from the industry, please email me at munroen@biia.com so we can discuss in more detail how you might be able to help.

I very much hope you will be able to join us and participate in this key meeting of senior leadership from our industry community and I look forward to seeing you in Ho Chi Minh City in November.

 

Kind regards,New BIIA Logo 2026
