Beyond the AI Hype to Real-World Impact

FinTech Connect Applied AI in Finance track session
2026 Track Narrative

New to 2026: Ever feel like you walked away from a conference with nothing actionable today? Especially around AI, the conversation can veer into the conceptual, and this is a problem especially considering how revolutionary AI will become in our Economy. The rules of this stage are simple. Every session, panel and conversation will be backed by a case study, whitepaper or application that you can take back to the office immediately.

Real deployments and uses. Real numbers. Real problems encountered and how they were solved. So, if you're needing that reason to leave the office and come down to Fintech Connect, here it is.
