The Finance & AI Executive Table

​Chicago stands as a cornerstone of the financial services industry, hosting a concentrated network of banks, sponsor banks, fintechs, and financial infrastructure providers that are actively shaping how AI is deployed across the sector. Yet despite the scale of innovation in the market, many organizations face a persistent, strategic question: what’s preventing broader AI adoption inside their institutions today?

​MidLyr is hosting a curated executive roundtable dinner for leaders across banks, sponsor banks, fintechs, and financial infrastructure providers. Designed for limited attendees, this is an intentionally intimate gathering built for candid, practical conversation on shared experience, peer exchange, and real discussion.

​The evening will center on AI governance and innovation in financial services, with conversation topics including:

• ​What’s preventing broader AI adoption across financial institutions today

• ​How banks and fintechs can build governance frameworks that support innovation without slowing it down

• ​What it takes to operationalize AI responsibly across regulated environments

• ​How financial infrastructure providers can help enable secure, scalable, and compliant AI adoption

​Join a small group of bank executives, sponsor banks, fintech leaders, and infrastructure partners for a high-value conversation about how AI is being governed, adopted, and scaled across financial services.

​If you’re a bank, sponsor bank, fintech, or financial infrastructure provider shaping AI strategy in Chicago, this is where the right conversation belongs.
