About UCISA26
The UCISA26 Leadership Summit brings together senior IT and digital leaders in higher and further education at a moment of sustained change for the sector.
This year’s Leadership Summit focuses on how institutions are leading digital change responsibly and at scale, with particular emphasis on AI adoption, enterprise architecture, cyber security, and people-first leadership. Designed for CIOs, IT directors, and digital decision-makers, UCISA26 provides a forum to share best practice, explore practical approaches, and learn from peers navigating similar financial, operational, and institutional pressures.
The summit also hosts the UCISA Awards, where Fulcrum Digital has been shortlisted for the Outstanding Corporate Member award this year.
Fulcrum Digital at the UCISA26 Leadership Summit
Fulcrum Digital is participating in the UCISA26 Leadership Summit to engage with higher education leaders navigating the realities of scaling AI responsibly. We bring deep experience working with universities, a strong UK focus, and proven AI engineering capability to support institutions as they move from experimentation to controlled, operational AI adoption across academic and administrative environments.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Live demonstrations of FD Ryze AI agents built for academic and administrative workflows in Higher Education.
- Walkthroughs of how AI supports student services, scheduling, and core operational processes in universities.
- Examples of AI working across SIS, LMS, ERP, and institutional data platforms in real environments.
- Discussions around secure AI deployment, data foundations, and cyber considerations for universities.
- Conversations with Fulcrum Digital’s Higher Education and AI engineering teams on scaling AI beyond pilots.
Schedule a 1:1 Meeting with Fulcrum Digital
UCISA26 is one of the few opportunities to step away from panels and have a grounded, peer-level conversation about what AI adoption actually looks like inside a university. We’d love a chance to talk through your specific context, pressures, and priorities.
A 1:1 meeting lets you:
- Pressure-test where AI fits in your institution’s current digital and operating model
- Talk through real constraints around budget, architecture, data readiness, and delivery
- Get an external perspective on what is realistically scalable
- Leave with clearer next steps tailored to your institution
Drop by Booth #22 or schedule a 1:1 consultation with our experts beforehand to discuss your institution’s AI adoption journey.
