The Human
Edge Summit
Leadership · AI · Performance
Los Angeles · October 2026
Presented by JF2 Academy · Nexum Leadership · Premier Corporate Academies
120-150 senior decision-makers from the largest companies in California. One day. Three forces reshaping corporate leadership.
An invitation-only gathering of 120-150 senior decision-makers — CHROs, CPOs, CLOs, Chief AI Officers — from the largest companies in California, around the three forces reshaping corporate leadership:
People. AI. Performance.
Sponsors sit at the center of that room.
Three shifts are happening
at the same time.
Leadership is being rebuilt.
Traditional training is not producing the leaders companies need. CHROs are actively searching for a new model.
AI adoption is stalling at the team level.
Strategy is solved. Execution inside departments is not. CPOs and Chief AI Officers need partners who live in both worlds.
Human connection became a KPI.
After layoffs, restructuring and hybrid work, rebuilding trust inside teams is now a measurable business outcome.
These three conversations happen in hundreds of boardrooms in California — separately. We bring them together, once.
Not a conference. Not a team-building.
A living showcase of what corporate leadership becomes next.
A one-day integrated experience
Morning: executive summit. Afternoon: padel club. Same audience, same day. Strategy and embodied performance in one continuous story.
Three pillars, one thesis
AI adoption at the team level + elite-sport coaching methodology + human connection through sport. The only event covering all three at decision-maker level.
Built on a working methodology
Backed by Premier Corporate Academies — an operating framework, not a content series. Speakers prove it. Sponsors plug into it.
By invitation only, category-exclusive
120-150 curated executives. One sponsor per category. Your brand owns the conversation in its vertical for the next 18 months.

Category exclusivity
One sponsor per category. You own the conversation inside your vertical for the day — and for 12 months of post-event content.
Content assets that work 12 months
Professional aftermovie, video and photography with speakers of international caliber. Reusable in your brand and demand campaigns.
Narrative alignment, not logo placement
Your brand sits inside a thesis: leadership + AI + human performance. Positioning your brand with the conversation that defines the next decade.
