9:30 – 10:30 AM | Exhibit Hall A

We are at the beginning of a new era – defined not by experimentation with AI, but by the ability to leverage execution approaches and AI to scale within aspects of your business that renew retention, growth and drive operational efficiency. This opening keynote frames the conversation around intelligence, showing why access is no longer the differentiator and how the ability to scale with AI approaches remains the true competitive advantage. The session sets the foundation for the conference, introducing the Intelligence framework that will carry through Intelligence 101, 201, 301 and 401.

(Watchlists/Virtual Portfolios/Models/Portfolios)
Investors do not think in isolated trades. They think in ideas, themes and outcomes. Yet most platforms still force fragmented, one-size-fits-all workflow. This session reframes the investing journey around baskets as the new unit of decision making, showing how watchlists, virtual portfolios and model marketplaces create structure, build confidence, and simplify action. Intelligence connects discovery to allocation to execution, turning complexity into clarity.

We know where you are going…and we will get you there.
We’re all familiar with the ask-anything, end-up-anywhere experience of a ChatGPT-style interface. You’re rarely certain of the accuracy, the source of the data or where the conversation will take you. For financial services, that uncertainty is a dealbreaker. Open-source chat raises serious questions about IP, compliance and the validity of results.

Communify’s Intelligent Chat™ and Intelligent Dialogues™ deliver the speed and natural language ease users expect – grounded in 100%
accuracy because MIND Al sits atop the financial industry’s largest consolidated knowledge base, unifying Market and Client Data*.

Day 3 Opener: Putting Intelligence into Action

10:00 – 10:15 AM | Exhibit Hall A

10:15 – 11:15 AM | Exhibit Hall A

Education are some of the most critical components of any digital experience, yet it is often missing or ineffective; not designed to engage and build confidence and not meeting the user where they are. In-situ overlays can guide users through simple flows that educate, embedding behavioral science and gamification directly into a workflow. A firm’s existing research and content can be leveraged via the Knowledge Base and transformed into new formats (natural language, podcasts, video) and layered onto any experience to drive engagement and action at scale. Let’s explore the possibilities.
