Agenda Day 1

8:50 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: THE ROI REALITY CHECK - WHAT’S ACTUALLY DRIVING VALUE?

Pressure is intensifying for data leaders across financial services to prove that AI is delivering real, measurable business impact not just technical progress. Many organisations still struggle to translate AI capabilities into tangible commercial outcomes at speed. The question on everyone's mind is how do you demonstrate short-term ROI from AI to secure sustained investment and support? 

  • Explore how data leaders are building frameworks to quantify the commercial value of data and AI, from individual use cases to the contribution of the data function as a whole.
  • Learn how to move beyond technical metrics and communicate outcomes in terms that resonate at board level, whether the conversation is about AI investment, data infrastructure, or team ROI.
  • Discover how to prioritise high-value opportunities and make the case for the foundational work that rarely gets the credit it deserves.

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