AI and Banking Experts Come Together in Chicago the Week of June 16

A panel of experts on AI and Banking will be one of the keys to the Banking Exchange National Conference this year in Chicago on June 19th.

The event will be held during AI Week in Chicago at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Gleacher Center.

Xiachen Zhang, Founder of Fintech for Good and Executive Director of AI2030 will host a panel that will include Jimmy Yang, Chief Risk Analytics and Infrastructure Officer at CIBC as well as Steven Tiell Global Head of AI Governance Advisory at SAS.

Tiell will also introduce the topic of Ethics and AI with a keynote speech before the panel discussion.

Each panel at the Banking Exchange National Conference will boast experts from financial institutions from all sizes in an intimate academic setting where no press will be present so that executives may speak freely about the industry.

“We are thrilled to partner with AI Week this year in Chicago”, said Erik Vander Kolk, CEO of Banking Exchange. “Xiaochen and his team have built an entire week of experts that focus not only on technology, but integrity and vision that will be crucial in the years to come. Chicago is the perfect place, a world-class city in the middle of the country with easy access for banking leaders.”

In addition to Ethics and AI, the conference will focus on risk, payments, and innovative strategies for the banking industry.

Registration is still open for banking executives.

From wallet architecture and custody models to vendor strategy and regulatory considerations, we'll discuss the foundational choices that can accelerate innovation — or create friction down the road.

Whether you're evaluating a new offering or scaling an existing program, you'll leave with a practical framework for understanding how digital asset infrastructure impacts business outcomes.
