Convergence Summit | Singapore Fintech Festival 2026 Edition

Convergence Summit Nov 2026: AI for Enterprises and Financial Institutions

Convergence Summit returns. It's a half-day, community-driven conference on how AI is reshaping enterprises and financial institutions, held in Singapore the week before Singapore FinTech Festival.

Our previous edition in June, during SuperAI week, brought together speakers from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, SpaceXSI (fka Cursor), Vercel, Slack, Coinbase, Stripe, Notion, AWS, and more, was held in partnership with Stripe, AWS, and Notion.

This time we go deeper into the organizations deploying AI where the stakes are highest: banks, governments, and large enterprises. Topics to Expect:

Trust Before Scale: Deploying AI in Regulated Industries: In regulated industries, the hard part isn’t the model. It’s the sign-off. The panel covers where data is allowed to live, how on-prem open-weight models compare with private-cloud frontier models, what auditors and regulators actually ask for, and which controls turn a pilot into production.

Agents at Work: What Happens When AI Starts Doing the Job: Together, the panelists look at agents running in production: the work they actually do today, how teams build guardrails, evaluations and human checkpoints around them, and what new risks appear once software has permission to act.

The Bank Rebuilt: Inside the AI Transformation of Asia’s Largest Financial Institutions: This panel follows the AI stack inside a bank. The panel unpacks the data foundations that had to be fixed first, where AI is changing analyst and operations work, how build-versus-buy decisions get made, and what it takes for a bank to trust an outside AI vendor with critical workflows.

How Enterprises Are Adapting in the Age of AI: Lessons From the Builders Rewiring Large Organizations: A frontier lab sits with three enterprise builders: a telco, a government technology agency and a real-estate conglomerate. They discuss what changed inside their organizations once AI moved from experiments to everyday tools. Topics include architecture choices, security and governance, how adoption spreads (or stalls) among staff, and how to measure whether any of it is working.

The Board’s Problem: Governing AI From the Top of the House: Directors are being asked to approve AI strategies, oversee AI risk, and answer for AI failures, often without the technical depth to probe what management tells them. This panel brings board and governance voices together to discuss the oversight frameworks, skills, audit and risk practices, and accountability lines boards need now.

Capital Distribution in the Age of AI: What Investors Are Investing in and How They Decide: Venture and corporate investors share their theses on AI in financial services. They cover which layers they believe will capture value, how they judge defensibility when the underlying models keep getting cheaper and better, what they look for in founding teams, and how Southeast Asia fits into the global picture.

Keynotes and live demos: On security and the AI outlook

Light refreshments will be served throughout the day.
