Roundtables
Track 1: Securing the future – Data risk in 2024
Sponsor:
Stan Wisseman GTM CTO, OpenText
Full Description
In the realm of banking, data risk is magnified with the potential for erosion of value and reputation throughout the data lifecycle, spanning from data acquisition to utilization and retention. It is imperative that banks establish resilient policies, cutting-edge technologies, and stringent controls to not only secure customer data but also to withstand the ever-present cyber threats and adapt to continuously evolving regulatory landscapes. Amid heightened regulatory scrutiny, the significance of effectively overseeing data risk, encompassing visibility, aggregation, and reporting for both internal and customer data, cannot be overstated. This diligence is essential for building and maintaining trust with all stakeholders. To fortify their data risk management practices and ensure resilience, banking leaders must adopt a comprehensive strategy that encompasses technology, training, and strategic planning, thus equipping themselves to confront the challenges of the future.
Track 2: Why fintech is disrupting the customer experience in banking
Shanice St. Hilaire VP Learning Innovation Leader, Synchrony
Full Description
According to Global Market growth, in 2022, the fintech market was valued at $112.5 billion, which is projected to nearly triple by 2028 to $332.5 billion. In order to stay afloat during the recent economic downturn, banks have cut costs while trying to increase their global footprints. Also, as consumers become more dependent on digital banking, neobanks (online-only banks), and fintech apps, they expect exceptional customer support and will turn to social media to express their frustrations when they don’t get it.
So how can companies leverage new technologies to thrive in a down economy and expand into new global markets and languages?
Track 3: Drivers & distribution in AI banking
Cory Declusin Director, CXM Best Practices, Sprinklr
Full Description
The drivers of AI disruption in banking are multifaceted and have significantly transformed the industry in recent years. This disruption is characterized by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into various aspects of banking operations, from customer service to risk management. We are already seeing several areas in banking services that have been taking advantage of this disruptive technology. The following are some use cases where AI has been most impactful within the BFSI industry. EG: Chatbots, Fraud Detection & Prevention, Customer Relationship, Management, Predictive Analytic, Credit Risk Management. The integration of AI in banking operations has led to several positive outcomes, but it doesn't comes without it's share of challenges and concerns.

Innovation Exchange Keynote
Five simple steps to delivering an AI-powered banking intelligent virtual assistant
Michael Kropidlowski SVP Global Marketing, Kore.ai
Full Description
Banks worldwide have invested significant time, money, and resources into developing the first
wave of chatbots we see widely deployed in the market today. These experiences are a good
starting point, but they fail to produce the phenomenal experiences and cost savings promised.
To meet rising customer and employee expectations, banks must elevate and replace their
basic bots with intelligent virtual assistants (IVA) powered by conversational AI to expand and
automate use cases to drive exceptional experiences. These IVAs must understand natural
human language and be able to service complex customer or employee requests with ease,
providing the exemplary self-service experiences promised by this transformational technology.
This is why Kore.ai developed a conversational AI platform that provides end-to-end lifecycle
management of IVAs. With the Kore.ai Experience Optimization (XO) Platform, it is easy to build
everything from simple FAQs to complex conversations using a no-code approach. On top of
the platform, Kore.ai has also built an intelligent banking virtual assistant trained to understand
over 200 retail banking use cases out of the box to make it quick and easy to deploy this
transformational technology. The platform also captures significant data surfaced in easily

Track 1: Securing the future – Data risk in 2024
Sponsor:
Stan Wisseman GTM CTO, OpenText
Full Description
Data risk may be defined as exposure to loss of value or reputation caused by issues or limitations to an organization's ability to acquire, store, transform, move, and use its data assets. As custodians of its customer data, banks need to have robust policies, processes, technologies and controls to ensure this data is safe and of the right quality to make the right business decisions. As new types of data risk arise, along with ever-changing regulatory requirements, banks must actively evolve to future-proof their data risk management.
Track 2: Why fintech is disrupting the customer experience in banking
Shanice St. Hilaire VP Learning Innovation Leader, Synchrony
Full Description
According to Global Market growth, in 2022, the fintech market was valued at $112.5 billion, which is projected to nearly triple by 2028 to $332.5 billion. In order to stay afloat during the recent economic downturn, banks have cut costs while trying to increase their global footprints. Also, as consumers become more dependent on digital banking, neobanks (online-only banks), and fintech apps, they expect exceptional customer support and will turn to social media to express their frustrations when they don’t get it.
So how can companies leverage new technologies to thrive in a down economy and expand into new global markets and languages?

Optimizing the banking customer experience and employee experience with AI
Jerone Abueva Director, B2B Solutions Business Development – Financial Services Industry, Samsung Electronics America
Full Description
While the adoption of digital tools by banking customers has increased, over 75% of US consumers prefer hybrid in-branch and digital experiences. This has led to a number of banks and credit unions adopting new digital capabilities within branches themselves, including virtual consultations and tellers. According to a new WBR Insights report, 56% of consumers would use virtual consultations at least somewhat often if their local branches offered them. How might banks leverage AI to reskill and upskill bank associates to provide connected customer experiences and personalized advice while maintaining compliance with regulations?
