Agentic AI in Financial Services and Insurance: Pilot to Production

Blott, Walmer Group and IFX Payments invite you to the next chapter of Future Forward, returning to one of the most consequential shifts in technology today: the rise of agentic AI across financial services and insurance.

This is not a generalist AI discussion. It is a focused, practitioner-led exploration of what agentic AI actually looks like in live financial services and insurance operations, and what leaders must get right as these systems move from experiment to infrastructure.

Finance panel:

Steve Martin (VP Engineer @ Monzo)

Umang Sota (Director of Product Management @ Checkout.com)

Kuldeep Mann (Global Head of Data Management @ S&P Global)

Moderator - Benjamin Yang (Co-founder @ Blott)

Insurance panel:

Hasani Jess (Group Chief Technology Officer @ Aventum Group)

Katya Kinane (Co-Founder & CTO @ Nettle)

Heather Williams (Innovation Lead @ Brit Insurance)

Moderator - Michael Robinson (Co-founder @ Gable Group)

Across two curated panels, we will examine:

Where agentic systems are already executing in payments, FX and treasury, and what production deployment demands

How underwriting, claims and pricing change when agents act autonomously

The liability question: who is accountable when an autonomous agent gets it wrong

Building the control, oversight and audit layers regulators and boards will expect

The balance between automation and trust, and how to earn confidence from customers and supervisors

Where the most compelling opportunities sit for incumbents and challengers alike

Hosted at the offices of IFX Payments, this event convenes a select group of founders, senior operators, investors and industry leaders for a substantive afternoon of debate and networking.
