AI Driven Banking at Scale: Why Data is the Foundation
Join Elastic and Microsoft for an invitation-only executive dinner in Johannesburg as senior banking and technology leaders come together to explore how unified, real-time data architectures are becoming the foundation for scalable AI success.
AI ambition is accelerating.
But without the right data foundation, transformation stalls.
Banks are investing heavily in AI to modernise operations, improve customer experience, strengthen risk management, and unlock new revenue streams. Yet despite rapid adoption, only a small percentage of institutions are achieving measurable business impact.
The challenge is no longer the AI itself.
It's a data underneath it.
Join Elastic and Microsoft for an invitation-only executive dinner in Johannesburg as senior banking and technology leaders come together to explore how unified, real-time data architectures are becoming the foundation for scalable AI success in financial services.
About the Event
AI is reshaping the future of banking - but fragmented systems, siloed ownership, and decades of legacy infrastructure continue to limit what organisations can achieve.
This private executive dinner is designed to create an open, peer-level discussion around the structural challenges preventing AI from delivering enterprise-wise value.
Together, we'll explore how leading financial institutions are approaching data modernisation, operational readiness, and scalable AI deployment in highly regulated environments.
Dinner Discussion Topics
- Building a Unified Data Foundation - How are organisations currently managing data across siloed systems and business units - and what structural changes would unlock the greatest value?
- Unlocking Underutilised Data - Research shows that nearly 6% of data in financial services remains underutilised. Is the biggest challenge finding the right data, accessing it quickly enough, or ensuring it can be trusted?
- AI at Enterprise Scale - Which AI use cases hold the greatest transformation potential over the next 18 months - and what technological or architectural barriers must be addressed to make them viable?
