Every enterprise is adopting AI. Far fewer are governing it.

LEAP ON TOUR 2026 brings together decision makers and practitioners at the intersection of APIs and AI in cities across America to share what the future of MCP governance looks like.

WHAT IS LEAP?

LEAP has always been a place where experts discuss the challenges facing the industry to help you take the next step in your journey.

LEAP ON TOUR takes that conversation on the road. Three US cities, three morning sessions, for the leaders shaping how enterprises safely say yes to AI.

WHY ATTEND?

AI governance used to mean keeping a model on a leash.
That problem has moved on.

Today, your agents aren’t just generating text. They’re calling tools, querying systems, and taking actions on your behalf through MCP — and in most enterprises, no one is watching that layer.

LEAP ON TOUR brings together a small, curated group of C-suite leaders and senior practitioners for a frank conversation about what good AI governance looks like in practice, not in theory.

A real customer sharing what they’ve learned, a roundtable that gets into the hard questions, and a live demonstration of what governing MCP at the gateway actually looks like. One morning session that could change how your organisation thinks about saying yes to AI.

Learn from industry leaders

Adopt & scale AI with confidence

Can we trust what our agents are doing?

When AI agents connect to tools — tools you built and tools you didn’t — every call is an ungoverned path unless something inspects it. Learn how leading teams are putting policy in that gap.

How do we govern AI we don’t fully control?

Third-party MCP servers, external tools, API integrations — your agents are using them. Identity, token exchange, payload inspection: hear how peers are approaching the trust boundary.

How do we scale without losing control?

Moving from one AI project to an enterprise-wide programme means consolidating, governing and auditing at scale. See what that infrastructure looks like in practice.

WHO IT'S FOR

For those who own the decision.

LEAP ON TOUR is not a conference. It’s an intentionally small gathering, with a limited number of seats and select organizations — designed for the people making decisions about AI adoption, not the people building the models.

If you’re deciding how your organization adopts AI at scale — and what guardrails need to exist before you can say yes — this event is for you.

LEAP ON TOUR is calling.

Are you in?

Tickets are free. Seats are limited and allocated first-come, first-served — with a maximum of three per organisation to keep the conversation as diverse as possible.
