Why Attend
If you run technology or AI at a bank, insurer or asset manager, this is the highest signal-to-noise room in financial services AI: 25 speakers from named institutions describing what actually shipped, benchmarked against the Evident AI Index rather than press releases. A CTO or Chief AI Officer leaves with a defensible read on where their firm sits against peers and which AI workflows are producing measurable value.

- ★Roughly one in three attendees is C-suite, and 110+ financial institutions are represented
- ★Grounded in the Evident AI Index, the most widely cited public benchmark of bank AI maturity
- ★Speakers are practitioners running AI inside named global banks, not vendors pitching
- ★Headline sponsors include EY, Anthropic, AKKA and Synechron
