ITIL Version 5 AI Governance Launch Event
One day. Two events. Three ways to get involved.

On October 15, 2026, we invite you to join us from 1:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for the ITIL Version 5 AI Governance Launch Event. The event combines the latest insights from the Kresse Conference with exclusive glimpses into the new AI Governance module in ITIL Version 5.
We are pleased to welcome Markus Bause (VP of Product) and Vivek Joseph (VP of ITIL & DOI) from PeopleCert. Together, we’ll take a look at what’s behind the new ITIL Version 5 AI Governance module and what it means for businesses, artificial intelligence, and modern service management.
The event consists of two parts, which can be attended together or separately. You can decide for yourself whether you’d like to attend the entire day, just the Kresse Conference, or only the AI Governance Launch followed by networking.

Why is AI governance important for businesses?
Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming an integral part of digital products, services, and business processes. As a result, there is a growing responsibility to ensure that its use is transparent, controlled, and aligned with the organization’s objectives.
The new AI Governance module in ITIL Version 5 addresses this trend. At the launch event, you’ll learn about the thinking behind the module and the significance AI governance may have in the future for organizations, executives, and service management professionals.

A Special Atmosphere – The ITIL Version 5 Launch Event at Our Library & Pub
The ITIL Version 5 Launch Party will take place at our one-of-a-kind SERVIEW Library & Pub in Bad Homburg—a place where the history, ethos, and present of service management come together in a tangible way. Designed in a British-inspired style, with fine wood, warm lighting, and a classic pub atmosphere, this venue offers the perfect setting for networking, socializing, and celebrating together.
We are deliberately drawing on the British roots of ITIL. Developed in the United Kingdom in the 1980s, ITIL went on to shape the world of IT service management from there. We honor these origins in a setting that does justice to our English friends—authentic, respectful, and stylish.
In this special setting, we are celebrating not only the launch of ITIL Version 5, but also the continued evolution of a standard that has reinvented itself time and again over the decades and is more relevant today than ever before.
What makes this frame special:
- An authentic British atmosphere at the SERVIEW Library & Pub
- Recognition of the British Origins of ITIL
- The ideal setting for exchange, inspiration, and networking
- Tradition and Innovation Combined – Aligned with ITIL Version 5
