Agenda Day 1

2:30 PM HOT TOPIC CASE STUDY PRESENTATION From Automation to Impact: Operationalizing at Scale While Consolidating Complexity

In BFSI, many organisations have automated pockets of work but still struggle to turn that automation into measurable business impact at scale. Hear about the real-world CDO journey to consolidating fragmented data, AI, and legacy estates into coherent platforms that can safely support AI agents, advanced analytics, and new operating models.

Discover practical approaches for aligning data and AI governance, architecture, and organisational design so that teams can move fast (LLMs, agentic workflows, synthetic data, embedded AI in SaaS) while still meeting regulatory expectations and avoiding "AI sprawl"
