Meet the Moment: Navigating Risk in the AI Era
An invite-only executive forum for senior leaders from across banking, credit unions, and fintech.
September 2-3
Chicago, Illinois
Registration closes August 20!
The leaders building the right foundation come here to compare notes.
The threat landscape has changed. Fraud is more sophisticated, compliance requirements keep multiplying, and the pressure to operationalize AI is coming from every direction. Most financial organizations are still navigating all three with infrastructure built for a different era.
The Alloy Summit is an invite-only executive forum for senior leaders from banking and fintech. Two days of honest, peer-led conversation about what growth actually looks like in the current environment: how to add signals without adding friction, move from rules-based thinking to models that adapt in real time, and make the case that your risk infrastructure is a driver of growth, not a cost center.
Two days built for real conversation
-
Peer-led roundtables
Small groups, real problems, and the kind of conversation that only happens when the right people are in the same room. No slides, no vendor at the front.
-
Cross-industry panels
Banking and fintech leaders working through the same challenges from different vantage points. The contrast in perspective is the point.
-
Alloy product vision
A look at where AI-powered identity and fraud prevention is headed and what it means for your growth roadmap. Practical, not theoretical.
-
The Chicago experience
A sunset architecture cruise on the river. Skyline views from Cindy's rooftop. Two nights in one of the best cities in the world.
