E-23 Executive Forum: Governing Enterprise AI
An Invite-Only Gathering of Senior Leaders Shaping the Future of AI Governance
Hosted by ValidMind & Portage
Location: Toronto
Date: April 15, 2026 @ 3:30 PM – 8:30 PM
An Exclusive Executive Forum
ValidMind and Portage is a global investment platform are convening a private gathering of senior leaders responsible for governing AI in regulated enterprises.
The E-23 Executive Forum: Governing Enterprise AI will bring together 20–30 carefully selected executives for a closed-door discussion on how organizations are preparing for Canada’s OSFI Guideline E-23, which introduces significant changes to how federally regulated financial institutions manage model risk.
With expectations around enterprise-wide governance, lifecycle oversight, and risk controls for AI/ML models, and a compliance deadline of May 1, 2027, Canadian financial institutions need to reassess their inventories, governance, and validation practices.
This forum is designed as a peer-level exchange among decision-makers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of enterprise AI, model risk, and regulatory oversight.
Participation is strictly limited to ensure meaningful dialogue and high-quality networking among leaders facing similar strategic challenges.
Who This Forum Is Designed For
Attendance is reserved for senior executives responsible for risk, governance, and enterprise AI oversight, including:
- Chief Risk Officers
- Chief Model Risk Officers
- Heads of Model Risk / Model Validation
- Heads of AI Governance / Responsible AI
- Chief Data Officers
- Enterprise Risk Leaders
- AI / GenAI Transformation Leaders
Participants typically represent organizations that are:
- Deploying AI or GenAI in regulated environments
- Preparing for or responding to regulatory frameworks including Canada’s OSFI Guideline E-23
- Evaluating governance, validation, and lifecycle control solutions for enterprise AI
What We’ll Discuss
The afternoon will focus on the strategic and operational challenges of governing enterprise AI, including:
- Scaling AI safely within regulated environments
- Emerging expectations from regulators, boards, and risk committees
- Operationalizing AI governance and model validation frameworks
- Managing model lifecycle transparency and accountability
- Building trust and control across the enterprise AI stack
The goal is to facilitate candid, peer-to-peer discussion among executives actively shaping AI governance strategies within their organizations.
Why This Event Matters
Enterprise AI adoption is accelerating across financial services and regulated industries, but governance frameworks, risk oversight, and validation capabilities often lag behind innovation.
The E-23 Executive Forum creates a rare opportunity for senior leaders to exchange perspectives, learn from peers, and discuss the future of responsible AI in regulated enterprises.
