Tuesday, October 13
Full livestream ↗Bridgewater
October 13 · Main stage
Vault: Making Unstructured Data Work for Investing
Aaron LinskyBridgewaterHead of Product Engineering
Sam GreenBridgewaterTeam Lead, Applied AI - AIA Labs
Investment agents need the research an investor would read—and a way to remember what the firm learns. Bridgewater’s Vault puts both into the same research loop.
Anthropic
October 13 · Main stage
Anthropic: Accelerating frontier AI in Financial Services.
Belinda NealAnthropicManaging Director, Financial Services
Keon ShahabAnthropicApplied AI Architect
A trade-break agent can investigate a discrepancy without having permission to change the order. Belinda Neal and Keon Shahab show how to reuse that separation across financial workflows.
Two Sigma
October 13 · Main stage
Balancing Acceleration and Safety for AI Agents
John FeminellaTwo SigmaSVP Architecture
John Feminella uses a catastrophic payment mistake to explain five controls that make agents visible, constrain their access, and reserve human attention for decisions that need it.
Capital One
October 13 · Main stage
Does Code Quality Even Matter?
Max Kanat-AlexanderCapital OnePrincipal Software Engineer
Cheap code makes some programs disposable. For the systems people will keep changing, Max Kanat-Alexander argues that AI should make engineering rigor cheaper too.
Arize AI
October 13 · Main stage
What does an AI engineer do?
Aparna DhinakaranArize AICo-Founder & Chief Product Officer
Arize Signal reads traces, finds recurring problems, and can propose fixes. Building that loop requires decisions about memory, temporary access, recovery, and what counts as a good fix.
Wells Fargo
October 13 · Main stage
Wells Fargo Foundation Model: Application to Fraud Detection at Scale
Freddy LecueWells FargoHead of Frontier AI Models, Managing Director

Intent Based Auth
Allie HoweKeycardMember of Technical Staff
Ian LivingstoneKeycardCEO and Co-Founder
Michael DavisJPMCGlobal Chief Security Architect
Dick HardtAAuthFounder

Southbridge
October 13 · Online track
Just-in-Time Ontologies
Hrishi OlickelSouthbridge
The meaning of a customer depends on the decision being made. Hrishi Olickel explains why data pipelines need contextual schemas, distinct model roles, and bounded experiments that can trade cost against quality.
Perpetual
October 13 · Online track
Building Reliable, yet Smart Workflows for Finance, Wealth and Insurance
Karthic RaoPerpetualCTO

Vals AI
October 13 · Main stage
Beyond the Model Card: The Jagged Frontier of AI in Finance
Rayan KrishnanVals AICo-Founder & CEO

Tenex
October 13 · Remarks
Welcome Back - Featured Keynotes
Alex LiebermanTenexManaging Partner
Alex Lieberman returns to the adoption gap: distributing an LLM is much more common than putting agents to work across a business.
Coatue
October 13 · Main stage
A Hedge Fund as a Function
Frank LongCoatueHead of AI
Frank Long models an investment firm as a function that turns external and internal context into selection, size, and timing. The engineering challenge appears when that function is decomposed into work that code, models, and people can each perform well.

OpenAI
October 14 · Main stage

Bloomberg
October 14 · Main stage
Security in the Age of AI: Recent Attacks, Incidents & Defenses
Andrey RybkaBloombergHead of Architecture & Emerging Technologies in the Office of the CTO

Compound AI
October 14 · Main stage
Towards Autonomous Analysts in Finance
Yijia LiangCompound AICo-Founder
An investment team needs more than a chatbot that produces a spreadsheet. Yijia Liang explains why Compound built shared agents, its own Office engines, and tools for navigating large data rooms before asking analysts to delegate longer pieces of work.
SemiAnalysis
October 14 · Main stage
Not All GPU's Are Deployed The Same

Keycard, Braintrust, and Socket
Come for the rooftop drinks and bites, stay for the demos. We're bringing together builders, security leaders, and AI engineers from across NYC for an evening of food, drinks, and real talk about building secure software factories, with a panel featuring the co-author of OAuth 2.0 and live demos from Keycard, Docker, Braintrust, and Socket.
