Focus
Applied AI
The 2026 Fields
Many fields, one standard.
Theme 01
AI in Financial Services
Fraud, risk, and agentic finance — the regulated path from pilot to production.
Theme 02
AI in Healthcare
Clinical AI, diagnostics, and drug discovery — intelligence at the point of care.
Theme 03
Trust, Governance & the Human Layer
Data, regulation, and responsibility — the conditions AI needs to earn its place.
What You Leave With
The agenda on paper is one day. The return is longer.
The keynotes are the reason to come. The room is the reason it matters. Admission is held to a selected few precisely so the conversations are worth having.
Connections across industries
Finance sits beside healthcare; the founder beside the allocator. The most valuable introduction of your year is rarely from your own sector.
Contacts worth keeping
Numbers exchanged among peers who operate at the same altitude — relationships that outlast the day, and tend to compound.
Conversations that become deals
Some leave with a perspective. Others leave having quietly shaped a partnership — or signed one. A room of decision-makers tends to decide.
