## Description

As AI reshapes how organisations build, manage, and use APIs, governance has become a critical foundation.
Without clear standards, consistency, and alignment across teams, API sprawl slows delivery, weakens quality, and limits the value APIs can bring to AI initiatives.

This masterclass helps you design a cohesive, scalable API governance framework that works for your team, your line of business, or your entire organisation.
You will learn how to turn governance into an enabler — not a constraint — and how to ensure your API ecosystem is ready for AI-driven use cases.

If you want to improve API quality, design consistency, reuse, discoverability, and lifecycle practices across your organisation, this session is for you.
