Great event overall. Smaller in scale but that also allowed more interaction amongst attendees. Great sessions, very informative. A lot of Tier 1 banks/ financial institutions present with great insights to share. Only second year in existence so they are still working out some of the logistics/organizational details but overall great event. Really enjoyed it and came back with a bunch of learnings and insights.

AI agents are the future, but risks remain—especially in highly regulated industries like banking. At last week’s NYC event, only 10% had AI agents in production. Key concerns: trust, ROI, cost control, compliance, and tech shifts. At Dataiku, we help 120+ financial institutions navigate these challenges with a universal layer that unites people, data, governance, and tech. It’s all about building trust and transparency from the start.
