Engage London 2026

London does big ideas well. So when Acquia Engage rolled into 155 Bishopsgate this May, the brief was simple: skip the AI fan fiction, and show what actually works.

The room delivered. Daniel Hulme, CEO of Satalia, Chief AI Officer at WPP, and one of the few people who can credibly say "I have a doctorate in this" — opened with six ways AI is already reshaping business and seven "singularities" that could reshape civilization itself. His ask of every leader in the room: Think bigger, and think more responsibly.

Then the customers took the mic. Jonathan Conn from England Rugby and Graham Taylor from Capgemini walked through Plan 2030: More than a Game, a data-and-AI strategy rebuilding how fans experience the sport and how players perform at the top of it. Save the Children, working with partner Material+, showed how a unified global platform replaced fragmented country sites and now powers their mission across 100+ countries.

Behind the headlines: the Acquia Partner Summit, where Acquia leadership and the Drupal Association mapped where the partner ecosystem is heading, plus workshops on AI search, privacy-first marketing, and Acquia DAM. Live demos. A welcome party. And the kind of hallway conversations that never make the program but follow you home.

Press play to see what happened when AI got practical.
