Call for speakers

Join us to discuss what AI is actually doing inside financial services.

We are bringing together the people building and applying AI in financial services for one evening, and we would like you to consider speaking.

What we want, and who

Backlog war stories by ordinary people

We are looking for candid stories of real-life hurdles, hacks and success. The sweat for true efficiency and outcome-oriented mindsets, not “vibe-coding”.

Speakers who’ve had real hands-on experience in AI, in financial services, or in the overlap. Technical, strategic, or operational. You do not need to be purely AI or purely fintech. The interesting material usually sits between the two, so do not count yourself out.

Please take note: This is not a stage for product pitches. If the talk is a demo of what your company sells, it is not the right fit for this room.

How to apply

Reply with 3 things in this application form

  1. 1A short bio, two or three sentences.
  2. 2A two-line pitch on what you would speak about, or what you would bring to the panel.
  3. 3Confirmation that you are free on the evening of Thursday 10 September.

If you are selected

We will run a short intro session in late August so panellists can meet each other, see the discussion format and sample questions, and walk through the running order for the evening.

Start time and AV details follow closer to the date.

We look forward to reviewing your proposal!
