About The Series:

This exclusive roundtable series brings together senior professionals from the public and private sectors to examine the material implications of AI deployment across financial technology, regulatory compliance, and supervisory technology. Moving beyond marketing pitches, these workshops surface real-world challenges, identify priority research questions, and foster collaboration between practitioners, policymakers, and academic researchers.

Format: Morning workshops

Audience: Senior professionals from public and private sector

Location: New York City

UP NEXT:

Roundtable Focus: Digital assets, stablecoins, and tokenized finance

16 September 2026

This closed-door session convenes 40 senior professionals — representing regulators, former regulators, academia, and the private sector — for a candid discussion of current challenges and emerging opportunities for collaboration. In a roundtable format, we will examine how digital assets are rapidly moving from the periphery of the regulated financial system into the mainstream, as interest from financial institutions, payments companies, and commercial enterprises grows by the day.
 
Participants will offer their views, predictions, and lessons from the field on how decisions on licensing, supervision, standards, oversight, and infrastructure may impact the marketplace of tomorrow. Our discussions will unpack the use cases in production today, where risk is concentrating, and how supervisory approaches, governance, and competitive pressures will shape the trajectory of financial services in the years ahead.
