QuickStart: Implementing a Compliant Article 17 Quality Management System for the EU AI Act
Under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, providers of high-risk AI systems are legally required to implement and maintain a documented Quality Management System (QMS) as mandated by Article 17. This practical 1-day QuickStart course delivers a clear, step-by-step implementation roadmap based on the leading draft European standard prEN 18286 , equipping you with the tools and confidence to build a compliant, product-centric QMS efficiently from day one.
Article 17 establishes one of the foundational obligations for high-risk AI providers. It requires a QMS that is deliberately product-centric and lifecycle-focused—unlike traditional organisation-wide standards such as ISO 9001—so it can address the unique challenges of AI systems, including model drift, data quality, continuous learning, and dynamic risks to health, safety, and fundamental rights.
In this intensive course, you will receive practical, in-depth guidance on how to create, implement, maintain, and continuously improve a compliant AI Quality Management System aligned with prEN 18286. The program focuses on the core elements you need to get started immediately and is designed for developers, engineers, IT and MLOps managers, Data Protection Officers (DPOs), risk managers, legal and compliance professionals, governance specialists, internal auditors, and AI practitioners.
By the end of the day, you will leave with a concrete, actionable roadmap to navigate the evolving AI regulatory landscape in 2026 and beyond—turning Article 17 compliance into a genuine strategic advantage for trustworthy, high-quality AI deployment across Europe.

Your agents can now find a bug, fix it and draft the pull request, or hunt for new business like a sharp intern. They act with real authority, and they rarely belong to one person. They belong to the team. So who is accountable when an agent acts? Who assigns the work and who checks it? And how do you get every agent working together, whether it's Codex, Claude, Grok Bot, Duet or a Slack bot, without betting your company on one vendor? Join us for an hour on running people and agents as one team, with no lock-in to any AI provider. You'll leave with: \- One shared task list where people and agents each have a named owner \- A way to check agent work against a written contract instead of taking it on trust \- A setup that works across agents from different vendors\, so you can switch whenever you like \- A live example from a small company that runs this way every day We'll build on HeyStax, a shared work graph for people and agents, and SpecFlow, open-source contracts that say what the software or agent must do. For founders, small business owners and enterprise leaders who want agents doing real work with someone clearly accountable.
