In Person AI Ready Data Foundations

Overview

The gap between AI ambition and AI value is growing.

Not because the models aren't capable - but because the data foundations beneath them are not.

Banks are leading the charge in AI adoption, yet only a small fraction are seeing meaningful, measurable outcomes. The challenge is structural: fragmented systems, siloed ownership, and legacy infrastructure continue to limit what AI can achieve.

This private executive dinner brings together senior banking and technology leaders to explore a critical question:

What does it take to build a data foundation that allow AI to truly scale?

 

Why Attend:

  • Understand why data - not models - is the limiting factor in AI success.
  • Explore how leading banking are addressing fragmented and siloed data environments.
  • Discuss strategies to enable real-time, trusted data access at scale.
  • Exchange perspectives with senior peers across the banking sector.
  • Gain practical insight into unlocking measurable AI-driven business value.

 

Discussion Topics:

1.  From Fragmentation to Flow: Unlocking Data Across the Enterprise

Most banks aren't short on data - they're constrained by how it's structured and accessed. 

  • Where is fragmentation creating the biggest drag on AI outcomes today?
  • What single architectural or ownership shift would unlock disproportionate value?

 

2.  The 68% Problem: Data Exists - But Value Doesn't

Up to 68% of data in financial services goes unused - not due to scarcity, but friction.

  • Is your biggest barrier discovery, access and trust?
  • How do you ensure data is not just available - but usable in real time for AI?
  • What's the hidden cost of relying on incomplete or low-confidence data?

 

3. From Experimentation to Impact: Where AI Delivers Next

AI investment is rising - but measurable outcomes remain limited. 

  • Which use cases are most likely to deliver real business impact in the next 18 months? 
  • What's preventing them from scaling today - data, architecture, or operating model?
  • How do you move from isolated wins to enterprise-wide value creation?
