Kizen Executive Gathering

How to Safely Accelerate AI-Assisted Development in Financial Services
New York
For leaders scaling AI inside regulated institutions
Date
Tuesday 3 November 2026
Location
Venue TBC
New York, NY
Timing
5:30 PM - 9:00 PM
A private, invitation only gathering for technology and operations leaders across financial services institutions and credit unions, focused on how to accelerate AI development within the enterprise frameworks you already run.
Today's operations and technology leaders are under intense pressure to roll out AI at the pace of the frontier labs, with the rigorous governance and security their institutions demand. Too often, the drive for speed leads to workarounds outside approved systems, putting the business at risk and leaving your team in charge of the cleanup.
Over dinner, connect with industry peers and AI experts to exchange strategies on scaling AI transformation without reengineering your current ecosystem. Designed to meet teams exactly where they are, Kizen serves as a flexible partner to help accelerate safe AI in mission-critical workflows. Join us for an evening of compelling conversation on how to move the industry forward, safely.
The conversation over dinner
Where is AI already delivering measurable value in lending, mortgage and member workflows?
How do you match the pace of the frontier labs without teams building workarounds outside approved systems?
What does production-ready governance look like when AI agents touch regulated decisions?
How do you scale AI across the institution without reengineering your core systems?
The evening opens with a drinks reception and moves into a three-course networking dinner. Numbers are deliberately limited so the conversation stays useful.
Attending as our guest
You join as our guest for the evening, hosted throughout. Places are held for senior leaders who can speak from experience, and the guest list is shaped so every seat adds to the conversation.
