DAY 2 | Tuesday, January 26
10:45 AM Track A: AI in Practice — Research, Execution & the Agentic Frontier
Most firms have launched pilots. The gap between firms that stopped there and firms that scaled is widening fast. Held under the Chatham House Rule, this session surfaces what production deployment actually required — from the teams that did it.
• Which applications have crossed from experiment to daily workflow — and what the transition actually cost
• Where capacity freed by automation is being redeployed — and what that tells you about what to automate next
• The infrastructure decisions that either unlocked scale or held it back
• A trading desk built from scratch in 2027: what it would look like and how far away the industry actually is
