Our Content Themes

Collaborate with and learn from peers to tackle the most pressing topics shaping tomorrow.

01

Emerging AI Threats, Opportunities, and Trends

From deepfake-powered scams to fraud-as-a-service marketplaces, AI is reshaping the threat landscape faster than defenses can adapt. This track confronts the attacks that are getting through today, the emerging vectors your team needs to prepare for next, and how to use AI to fight back.

02

Agentic Commerce and Identity

AI agents are starting to shop, bank, and transact on behalf of consumers, breaking every assumption in the trust stack. This track explores the shift from Know-Your-Customer to Know-Your-Agent and what payments and identity look like when the "customer" is software.

03

Leveraging AI Tactically in My Role

The gap between AI hype and AI impact is execution. This track is where practitioners and innovators share exactly how they're using AI today: workflows that save time, tools that actually work, and the personal experiments that turned them into their team's go-to AI resource.

04

Building & Benchmarking AI-Forward Teams, Programs, and Orgs

AI is redrawing org charts, redefining roles, and forcing leaders to reposition their functions and re-skill teams. This track tackles how to build and lead teams in the AI age.

05

Technology, Tooling, and Vendor Strategy in the AI Age

Every vendor now says they're "AI-powered." This track gives practitioners the frameworks to cut through marketing claims, structure meaningful evaluations, and make smarter build vs. buy decisions.

06

AI Governance, Explainability, and Regulation

As AI embeds deeper into fraud, risk, and compliance workflows, the regulators are paying attention. This track focuses on how to build AI-forward programs that can withstand scrutiny from regulators as well as sponsor banks.
