You're already using AI. Now you need to start building with AI.

Most teams stop at using AI. Information still gets copied between systems. Customers still wait. Reports still take days.

Building with AI is the next level. It connects agents, data, workflows and decisions into one layer. That layer is the AI Operating System, and it's what makes a company AI-Native.

Three things an AI Operating System does that a chatbot cannot:

Orchestration

Coordinate multiple agents and data into workflows that run without you.

Autonomy

Design agents that decide, act and learn.

Accountability

Build guardrails, audit trails and oversight into every decision.

Same framework. Three different paths to value.

See how it's actually built.

At LEAD the Future Conference 2026, every system on stage is already running in production somewhere. Watch them get assembled from scratch, then take the pieces back to your own work.

AI-Native is becoming the benchmark. Make your move before the gap widens.

One of these is you

You already use AI one task at a time. What you don't have is AI handling a whole process without you prompting every step. That's what LEAD The Future Conference is for.

No coding required. Plain language, real business problems.

Business owners and founders

You run lean and every hire is a real decision. See how small teams use AI Agents to deliver work that used to need far more people.

Senior executives and decision-makers

CEOs, COOs, GMs, directors

You've approved AI spending and now you need to know what it returned. Leave with clear priorities for your next 90 days.

Department and team leaders

Marketing, sales, operations, finance, service

Your team still copies information between systems and chases follow-ups by hand. Watch one workflow run end to end, then map it to your own.

HR and training leaders

You're being asked which roles change, who to reskill and what to hire. Leave with a workforce plan for 2026 and 2027.

The AI champion

You're who everyone asks about AI, even though it isn't in your job title. You don't even code. Turn what you've picked up on your own into a framework you can actually stand behind.

Anyone whose job is changing

The market is tight and AI is shifting what roles are worth. Find out which skills are growing, which roles are opening, and how people without a technical background are moving into them.

What You Will Take Away

Using AI takes no expertise. Designing the AI Operating System your organisation runs on takes patterns, pitfalls, and principles. This day is for people ready to stop testing AI and start running on it.

FAQ

Answers to common questions.

When and where is the conference?+

LEAD the Future Conference 2026 runs across two days at The Space, Menara KEN TTDI, Kuala Lumpur. Wednesday, 9 September is delivered in Chinese. Thursday, 10 September is delivered in English. Both days run from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with registration from 9:30 AM.

Which day should I book?+

Two things decide it. First, the language you are most comfortable learning in. Second, the programme itself. The two days cover different sessions and speakers, so book the day with the topics you want. Your ticket admits you to the day you book.

Do I need to be technical to attend?+

No. The day is built for decision-makers as much as for practitioners. You will see systems built live and the business reasoning behind what is on screen. Whether you're capable in coding or not, you will be able to follow all of it.

Do I need to bring a laptop?+

It is optional, and nothing on the day requires one. The sessions are demonstration-led. You watch real workflows and applications get built and run in front of you, with the speakers walking through each decision as they make it. If you want to follow along, you're free to bring a laptop.

Should I bring my team?+

Yes, and preferably from different departments. IT, HR, operations, finance, marketing, leadership, and more. Becoming AI-Native works best when everyone shaping how work gets done shares the same picture.

What is included in my ticket?+

Full-day access to every session on the day you booked, lunch, a complete playbook covering each session after the event, certificate of participation, and drop-in access to the career consulting booth. Tickets are HRD Corp claimable.

Is it HRDC claimable?+

Yes. Select the HRDC option when you book and you will be guided through the rest.

What is the refund policy?+

Our refund policy is being finalised. If your plans change, reach out to us at hi@jooymedia.com and we will sort it out with you.
