Unlocking AI’s Value in Financial Services: Moving from Pilots to Impact

Wednesday 25th June 
The Ivy, Canary Wharf - 8:30am
AI has dominated conversations in financial services, but many AI initiatives have failed to deliver real value. The reason? AI is often deployed as a standalone tool rather than embedded into core processes where real decisions, compliance, and operations happen.

This breakfast discussion will explore:

Why AI alone isn’t enough—and why AI in process delivers real impact

How financial institutions are embedding AI into compliance, fraud detection, and risk management

What’s next for AI in financial services—scaling beyond disconnected pilots

This session will bring together senior financial services leaders to discuss real-world strategies for integrating AI into the processes that drive financial services.
