RETHINK. REINVENT. RESET
The pressure is unprecedented. Legacy workflows and outdated strategies won’t save us.
It’s time for a RESET! 

The RealTime Executive Summit on Emerging Technologies brings together a bold cohort of leaders ready to rethink strategy, harness AI and real-time tech, and turn uncertainty into competitive advantage. 

Join us in London – September 8-10, 2025 

WHO RESET IS FOR — AND WHY IT MATTERS  

  • RESET is designed for executives, strategists, and investors from industries such as Automotive, Architecture, Digital Fashion, Media & Entertainment, Retail, and Design & Manufacturing – Leaders who know the shift is coming — but want to move deliberately, not reactively. It’s about finding smart, sustainable ways to transform — without losing control, quality, or talent.

 

RESET is not just another industry event. It’s for leader who understand that: 

  • We’re facing a revolution — not just evolution
    • Resisting change is no longer an option
    • Technology is not just a tool — it’s the Medium
    • The shift to AI-powered, real-time systems is inevitable — and it brings both risk and opportunity 

But this isn’t about rushing toward the future blindly.

RESET is for those who want to move deliberately — not reactively — and design transformation that’s smart, sustainable, and strategic. 

Because we don’t need faster versions of old workflows.
We need entirely new models. 

RESET is for leaders ready to:
→ Rethink tools and accelerate workflows — without sacrificing creative control
→ Replace siloed structures with cross-functional collaboration
→ Shift from high-risk, bloated budgets to sustainable, scalable production
→ Trade legacy playbooks for adaptive leadership 

It’s built on the triad: Business. Creative. Technology.
When one is missing, the whole system breaks down. 

Too many in the industry are stuck re-implementing what they were supposed to replace. Too many teams can’t yet imagine a path beyond the status quo. 

RESET is not the place for venting, nostalgia, or reimplementation.
If you feel comfortable with today — this is not your conference. 

This is for those bold enough to ask what’s next — and build it. 

No cameras. No recordings. No sales pitches.
Just real conversations among people who shape the future. 

STRATEGY FOR THE NEXT ERA 

RESET isn’t just another tech event. 
It’s a focused, executive-only think tank — designed to help leaders anticipate disruption, share strategic insight, and unlock the full potential of next-gen technologies to drive business transformation. 

RESET 25 is exclusive.

An invitation-only think tank for 100 top executives, strategists, and investors from across industries.

RESET is strategic.

A platform for candid, high-level discussions on how AI, automation, and real-time technologies are transforming businesses.

RESET is cross-industry.

Leaders from diverse sectors connect, share insights, and break down silos for greater innovation.

RESET is timely.

Amid rapid change, it provides honest perspectives on navigating economic uncertainty and tech adoption.

RESET is confidential.

Closed-door, cameras-off sessions create a safe space for open, unfiltered exchanges among executives.

RESET is transformative.

It’s for those ready to embrace a fundamental shift—from risky, unsustainable models to profitfirst strategies.

RESET is brought to you by RTC, the world’s premiere event for real-time technologies.

This isn’t a conference. It’s a curated, closed-door experience.

Cameras off. Conversations on. No recordings, no stages, no spectators — just real exchange among decision-makers.

GAIN NEW INSIGHTS

Strategic Keynotes & Industry-Focused Panels 

Each day opens with sharp, high-level sessions — keynotes, fireside chats, and expert panels designed to frame the day’s most urgent challenges. 

These aren’t generic speeches. They’re deep dives, sector by sector, on what’s breaking — and what’s next. 

Examples include:
• A 1-hour session on the disruption facing the AEC sector
• A segment on open source and its expanding role
• A frank conversation on the shifting role of vendors
• Spotlight sessions on VFX, Animation, Digital Fashion, and more 

Each session is tailored to purpose — whether it’s a lightning talk + panel, a rapid-fire case study round, or a keynote with live dialogue.
The format is fluid. The goal is clarity.
To map where we are, and define what’s truly at stake. 

FROM INSIGHT TO ACTION 

Closed-Door Working Sessions

Closed-Door Working Sessions
Turning context into strategy 

After the morning plenary and lunch break, RESET shifts from listening to leading.  

Attendees break into parallel Working Sessions — intimate, closed-door groups of 10 to 15 participants, each focused on a specific sector or strategic theme. 

These 3-hour sessions are built for depth and candor, designed to move beyond diagnosis into action. Each session features: 

  • A host/moderator to guide the discussion 
  • A designated rapporteur to capture key insights and actionable takeaways 
  • A focus on collaboration over presentation — no slides, just strategy 

These are not generic workshops. They’re targeted, outcome-driven conversations — where real issues are surfaced:
→ How to implement AI responsibly without destabilizing teams
→ How to deal with tool fragmentation and vendor uncertainty
→ How to meet aggressive cost targets without sacrificing talent or control 

RESET isn’t about talking around the hard stuff.  

It’s about facing it — and moving forward, together. 

Each session delivers strategic frameworks participants can apply — and lead with — immediately. 

COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE 

End-of-Day Debrief:  

From Fragmented Insight to Shared Strategy

At the close of each day, all participants reconvene in the main room to synthesize what emerged from their Working Sessions.
 

This isn’t just a recap — it’s a strategy-sharing session designed to break silos and sharpen perspectives across sectors. 

Room by room, we’ll hear what surfaced: 

→ “Room A rethought how to integrate real-time tools into rigid legacy pipelines — not just speeding things up, but reimagining the flow.”
→ “Room B explored cross-industry adoption of open source — and how it can enable smaller, more profitable teams.”
→ “Room C drafted a responsible framework to evaluate AI-powered creativity — addressing the friction between experimentation and control.”
→ “Room D explored how to reduce production costs without sacrificing artistic integrity — by building AI-augmented workflows that keep expert talent in control.” 

This collective intelligence loop ensures that insights don’t stay siloed.
 

They’re debated, refined, and shared — accelerating the shift from “just doing the old things faster” to building smarter, leaner, more scalable systems. 

Because RESET isn’t a place for reimplementing what already exists.
 

It’s a summit for those bold enough to rethink how business, creativity, and technology can truly work together — to stop bleeding time and money, and start inventing what’s next. 

In short: RESET is about moving smarter — and building systems that are lean, creative, and human-led by design. 

WRAP UP WITH INTENTION 

Evening Gala Dinner at the Epic Games Innovation Lab 

The day concludes with a high-end dinner at the Epic Games Innovation Lab — a space curated to spark new thinking and authentic connection. 
This isn’t just a celebration. It’s a chance to unwind, reflect, and deepen the relationships formed throughout the day. 

The next morning picks up where we left off — new topics, fresh voices, and the same powerful mix of insight, strategy, and collaboration. 

NETWORK WITH PURPOSE 

Because the right conversation can change everything 

RESET brings together visionary executives across industries — not just for keynotes and panels, but for the conversations that happen in between.

From curated networking breaks to shared meals and social gatherings, every element is designed to spark meaningful connection, strategic insight, and unexpected opportunity.
