September 19th 9:30-10:30 am: Weighing the Risk and Rewards to Current Artificial Intelligence Use Cases at Your Institution

This session delves into the benefits and challenges of implementing AI in financial institutions, offering a balanced view of its impact on operations, compliance, and customer experience. Attendees will learn to evaluate AI use cases critically, ensuring they align with their institution’s strategic goals and alternative risk management frameworks since formal regulation around AI is currently nascent.

October 9, 2025 10:30-11:30am: The GENIUS Act & the Future of Money: What Every Bank C-Suite Needs to Know

The GENIUS Act passed the US Senate. It’s the U.S.’s first comprehensive federal framework for stablecoins, poised to transform how banks hold deposits and compete on payments. This critical legislation offers a regulatory greenlight for banks to dive into the stablecoin economy, impacting everything from your balance sheet to your client relationships.  During this session, the following topics will be covered:

• Defining stablecoins and tokenized deposits within banking: simplifying beyond the jargon
• The GENIUS Act decoded: What the regulatory changes mean for your bank.
• Strategic implications: Deposits, payments, and compliance in a new era.
• To Issue or Not to Issue: Should your bank be issuing their own stablecoin?
• Getting started to compete: Safely and competitively prepare your institution.

Up to the minute updates on the latest activity, investments and progress in stablecoin by banks will be provided!
