The event is taking place on August 10, 2026, at Serena Hotel in Islamabad, with artificial intelligence, digital transformation and the changing technology landscape forming part of the discussions among business and technology leaders.
As part of the forum, Assad Hameed Khan, Head of ACCA Pakistan, is scheduled to participate in a panel discussion titled “AI & the Technology Shift: Redefining Pakistan’s Digital Future.” The session is scheduled for 3:45 PM and will focus on the changing role of artificial intelligence and technology in shaping Pakistan’s digital landscape.

ELEVATE 2026 is bringing together representatives from business, government and technology to examine the forces influencing Pakistan’s digital future. The forum provides a platform for industry leaders to exchange perspectives on technological developments and their implications for organisations, professionals and the wider economy. Artificial intelligence is expected to remain a key area of discussion as organisations increasingly assess how emerging technologies can influence business operations, workforce requirements and long term digital strategies.
The panel featuring Assad Hameed Khan is centred on the broader technology shift taking place across Pakistan. The discussion is expected to examine how artificial intelligence is changing the technology environment and how businesses and professionals can respond to evolving digital requirements. The focus on the country’s digital future also places attention on the skills, leadership capabilities and technological understanding needed as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly relevant across different sectors.
ACCA’s participation as Knowledge Partner also highlights the organisation’s engagement with discussions concerning technology, professional development and the changing requirements of the modern workforce. As digital technologies continue to influence financial services, business operations and professional roles, conversations around future skills and technology adoption are becoming increasingly important for organisations and professionals operating in Pakistan.
The forum is also expected to address the relationship between digital transformation and the future of work. Artificial intelligence is changing how organisations approach processes, decision making and workforce capabilities, creating a need for professionals to develop skills that complement emerging technologies. Discussions at ELEVATE 2026 provide an opportunity for leaders from different sectors to consider how these changes could affect Pakistan’s workforce and business environment.

Their participation brings together perspectives from professional, business and technology leadership as the forum examines developments influencing Pakistan’s digital ecosystem. The involvement of leaders from different areas reflects the cross sector nature of the conversation around artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
