TechTable by Vention NYC: AI in Financial Services: Who's Actually in Control?
Welcome to our spring edition of TechTable by Vention in NYC!
We’re excited to invite you to the next iteration of our exclusive dinners, hosted at the best restaurants in New York. This dinner will be an intimate, candid exchange among financial services leaders on what it really takes to operationalize AI at scale—covering the gap between governance on paper and in practice, the unexpected cost realities, and the accountability challenges when AI systems drive real-world outcomes.
TechTable offers a unique opportunity to connect with top tech leaders and innovators, expand your network, and discuss industry news and trends.
With previous events covering discussions around AI, automation, the future of software and wider topic of emerging tech, and past attendees including leaders from companies like Haas F1, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Snowflake, LinkedIn and Mastercard, TechTable offers a seat at the table with peers who are solving the same challenges - and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
For this dinner, we're coming back to the Raines at The William, just steps away from Bryant Park, Grand Central and Times Square. Set against the backdrop of its warm, speakeasy-style charm, the private room offers the ideal setting for an evening of big ideas and meaningful exchange. Joining us will be some of the city’s top tech minds, coming together for candid conversations, fresh perspectives, and the chance to build connections that matter.
The evening will be moderated by Frank Roppelt.
Frank is a cybersecurity and AI governance executive with over 25 years leading enterprise risk programs at Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, BNY Mellon, and Flagstar Bank. As a certified AI governance professional (AAISM), he specializes in building responsible AI frameworks that balance innovation with security, ethics, and regulatory compliance, including alignment to emerging regulations like the EU AI Act.
