Xiaochen Zhang, Executive Director of AI2030 and the catalyst for Chicago’s AI Week starting June 16, will be leading a discussion on Banking and AI at the Banking Exchange National Conference on June 19.

Zhang is hosting a world-class event on June 17 and 18 for all major industries at the Illinois Institute of Technology and is widely known as one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject.

For the June 19th Conference at the University of Chicago’s Gleacher Center, Zhang has pulled together a strong panel of experts that includes Sandeep Maira, Managing Director at Accenture and Sandra Ro, CEO of the Global Blockchain Business Council for Banking Exchange’s National Conference.

More than 50 banks will be represented at the event.

“Xiaochen Zhang has brought together leading executives from all major industries to Chicago year after year, making the week one of the most important annual events focusing on AI. His event has helped put Chicago on the map as one of the world’s leading cities for serious discussion and on the future of AI. He has done this with a focus on integrity and best practices. We are thrilled to be a small part of the week and to have him be a part of our contribution to the week through Banking Exchange’s Thursday event,” said Erik Vander Kolk, CEO of Banking Exchange.

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.
