About the Summit

Organized by Keynotion: Architects of Cultural Transformation.Imagine an OPEx revolution where people aren’t just cogs in the machine, they’re the engine.

Keynotion invites you to the most pivotal operational excellence event of the decade, where we shatter the 70% failure rate of transformations. In 2026, AI and volatility will redefine operations, only cultures built on psychological safety, empathy, and legacy will thrive. Join 200+ Fortune 500 leaders to master the human edge in the age of autonomy. This isn’t just a summit, it’s your organization’s survival blueprint.

YOUR MOMENT IS NOW
As AI commoditizes technical skills, human-centricity becomes your ultimate competitive weapon. Keynotion’s summit delivers the playbook, the tribe, and the mindset shift to dominate 2026. 200 seats only. Zero spectators allowed, only legacy-builders need apply.
