Aramar Data, AI & Analytics Forum 2026
by Bronyck Stokes Horrigan & Angeline Singh
In just a few weeks, on the 16th September, we will be hosting our FOURTH annual Aramar Data, AI & Analytics Forum for our customers, at the IBM Innovation Studio London.
It’s an event we have been planning all year! And as we get closer, we’re excited to tell you a bit more about what to expect on the day.
Hear what Angeline has to say here:
And Bronyck shares why she is looking forward to the event here:
The latest from IBM
As always, we will be sharing the latest developments in IBM Planning Analytics and IBM Controller. Our favourite IBM specialists, Mate Kiss, Data & AI Tech Sales Leader, and Paul Allen, Product Manager of Financial consolidation, will be presenting the latest product roadmaps. Paul will also be introducing IBM Disclosure Management Both will be available throughout the event to answer product and roadmap-related questions. We find these sessions particularly useful for understanding the longer-term direction of the products and where IBM is focusing its efforts.
Exploring AI and AI agents
We are excited to welcome back Neil Ward Dutton, Europe’s Vice President for AI, Automation and Data & Analytics will also be joining us from the IDC (International Data Corporation) as our Key Note Speaker. Neil gave a really insightful presentation at last year’s event, so we are delighted to hear from him again. This year, he will be discussing AI agents, including where they can be used, what they can do and their potential role within the financial close process.
We will also be joined by Stephen Green from IBM, who will share how AI will work in Business Analytics.
Louis Regan and Lukas Ng will then show us how AI & Agents will work within IBM Planning Analytics.
An introduction to IBM Apptio
Greg Holmes will deliver an introduction to IBM Apptio and explore how it can help businesses better understand, manage and optimise their technology investments.
An exciting update from Aramar
Our Commercial Director, Rob Howell, will share the latest updates from Aramar… including an exciting new product that our Adam has been working on.
We can’t tell you too much just yet, but more information will be coming soon!
House of Games
One of our favourite parts of the day, straight after lunch will be Angeline‘s very popular House of Games session.
We’ll all be taken on a journey of knowledge, with plenty of fun and the chance to win some prizes along the way.
And before we go, we must give our customers one more reason to attend. This year’s merch bag is definitely going to cause some envy!
We’re all very excited for the Aramar Data, AI & Analytics Forum 2026 and can’t wait to see our customers there.
