Chicago | Claude for Finance
An evening for Chicago finance practitioners on where teams actually are with AI today — what they’re using, what’s working, and what comes next. Hosted at Ferris & Co in the Loop.
No pitching. Live demos and an honest panel. Early and advanced both welcome.
What to expect
Live demos: research → memo with Claude, and diligence workflows with Claude Cowork
Panel: day-to-day tools, sharing skills and artifacts, security/IT, and what’s next
Open audience Q&A, then networking
What people quietly abandoned, and why
Who it’s for
Practitioners across venture capital, private equity, private credit, public markets, corporate finance, fintech, and risk. We define finance loosely. If you work on this with finance teams rather than inside one, you belong here.
