Agenda Day 2

8:40 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: From Hype to Habits: What an Automated, Efficient & Trustworthy BFSI Enterprise Looks Like in 2030

The next decade will likely not belong to the loudest technology, but to the organizations that turn data, automation and intelligent systems into trusted, everyday business habits. Across a multiplicity of business functions, CDOs and their C-suite peers will shape how risk, insight and innovation coexist in a compliant, customer-centric enterprise. Peers from across Banking, Insurance and Financial Services industries will explore what the data-driven enterprise of 2030 looks like – and what cultural, architectural and leadership shifts must begin now so you don’t lag behind.

• Explore the operating models, architectures and cultural shifts that separate future data-driven leaders from those left managing yesterday’s dashboards.

• How developed will BFSI organisations be in utilizing and scaling innovative technologies, such as AI, in 2030?

• Hear how the future data team will likely construct its data stack to remain ready for future eventualities to mitigate potential risks.

• Delve into the predictions of peers on how the BFSI enterprise will operate in 2030, and what will likely matter most to boards, regulators and customers.

10:05 AM THINK TANK: Knowledge Engineering for GenAI - Practical Steps to Curate, Govern and Measure Unstructured Content

Too often AI projects stall because unstructured knowledge is fragmented or ungoverned. In this closed-door think tank we'll briefly frame the challenge, then workshop pragmatic approaches to source, curate, version and secure documents, screenshots and diagrams, mapping activities to cost/benefit levers and KPI ideas. Participants will co-create a lightweight playbook and measurable next steps to trial within 30–90 days.

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Bo.
