RiskEvent 2026

AIvolution: survAIval of the fittest

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept — it is transforming the way organizations operate, innovate, and manage risk today. As AI technologies rapidly evolve, businesses are challenged to adapt to a landscape where governance, cybersecurity, ethics, and resilience are more critical than ever.
At the ISACA Netherlands Risk Event 2026, we explore the opportunities and risks of this new era. How can organizations remain resilient in an AI-driven world? How do we balance innovation with control, trust, and accountability? And what skills, strategies, and governance models are needed to stay ahead?
Join leading experts, practitioners, and thought leaders for an inspiring event filled with insights, real-world cases, and forward-looking discussions on the impact of AI on risk management, cybersecurity, audit, governance, and digital trust.
The AIvolution has already begun.
The question is: are you ready to survive — and thrive?

Track 1: AI and the Trust Revolution

In essence, AI acts as an magnifying glass, enlarging the possibilities for the user. When used for the greater good, like learning, research, creativity, health care or simply solving problems more efficiently, it can help people to achieve better and quicker outcomes. But at the same time AI can also magnify things for the worse. Misinformation can be produced faster, scams can become more convincing and damaging content can be distributed at a larger scale. AI does not define the intent, but it magnifies the impact of human choices. Our biggest challenge is therefore not just the technology, but using it responsibly, for benefit of individuals and society at large.

What does this mean for our daily business? Trust is central in an effective application of AI. This track explores the different aspects of this trust. Can we trust that AI decisions made by the companies we do business with have human oversight in place. What can we learn from the hacker’s perspective on AI? Can AI be used to boost society’s trust in a company?

Track 2: AI and Governance

AI is evolving. Is your governance keeping up? Tackling the challenge: balancing innovation and control.

In the age of AIvolution, the question is no longer whether AI will transform your organization — but whether your governance can keep pace.

Algorithms make decisions, models act autonomously, and regulation like the EU AI Act demands demonstrable control.

For EDP auditors and risk managers, this is the moment to determine who is “fittest”: those who not only understand AI, but can demonstrably govern it.

From strategy and design to access management and assurance — this track gives you the knowledge and tools to turn AI governance from a compliance burden into a strategic advantage.

No theory. No hype. Just demonstrable control.

Track 3: When AI Goes to the Dark Size / Rogue

Artificial Intelligence creates enormous opportunities, but it also introduces powerful new threats.
When AI is used maliciously, carelessly, or without control, it can amplify attacks, accelerate fraud, support warfare, and even influence how humans think, decide, and behave.

Track 4: Me, myself & (Agentic) AI

From AI literacy to human resilience in an age of digital colleagues

AI is evolving from tool to digital colleague. It is reshaping how we work, learn, collaborate, make decisions, and stay relevant ― as people, professionals, teams, and leaders.

This track explores the human side of AI: building AI literacy, using AI responsibly, staying relevant as professionals, and working with digital colleagues in ways that strengthen trust, assurance, and human judgment.

Success with AI is not just about control, but about how we grow and work alongside it.
