Beyond the Pilot Trap: Building Production-Ready AI for Financial Services

An incredible evening bringing together senior leaders from leading financial services organisations to explore a critical challenge facing the industry today: moving beyond AI experimentation to scalable, production-ready AI platforms.

The discussion centred on how financial institutions can: move from pilots to enterprise-scale AI, build strong, trusted data foundations, modernise legacy platforms/ mainframe systems for AI readiness, operationalise GenAI responsibly in regulated environments and create real business value from AI investments


3:15 PM - 4:00 PM

From Legacy to Intelligence: Modernizing Mainframes for the Agentic AI Era

Across the financial services industry, legacy mainframe systems still power mission-critical operations such as core banking, payments, and risk management. While these systems have long delivered reliability and scale, they increasingly limit innovation. High operational costs, rigid architectures, siloed data, and limited support for modern AI-driven applications make it difficult for organizations to adapt quickly to changing market demands. As digital transformation accelerates, many enterprises are reevaluating how to modernize legacy infrastructure while preserving the stability these systems provide.

This panel will explore how organizations are approaching mainframe modernization through intelligent automation, AI-powered development tools, and flexible, cloud-ready data architectures. Leaders will discuss practical strategies for refactoring legacy applications, automating complex migration processes, and unlocking enterprise data to support advanced analytics and AI initiatives. The conversation will also highlight how modernization can move beyond simple system replacement to enable agile, scalable platforms that drive innovation, improve customer experiences, and position organizations for the next generation of AI-powered services.


4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Uncorking Modernization: A Taste of the Future Beyond Legacy Systems

Wrap up the event with a curated wine tasting, creating a relaxed setting for technology leaders to connect before moving into an interactive roundtable discussion. Much like a fine wine, enterprise technology environments have developed complexity over time especially in financial services, where legacy mainframe systems still support many mission-critical operations.
