Tuesday, January 27, 2026: Trading Rewired – Empowering Your Desk Amid Structural Shifts and Strategic Innovation

11:35 AM Panel: AI! Peeling Back the Buzz Behind the Buzzword to Gauge & Seize Your Biggest Opportunities

Artificial Intelligence dominates trading conversations—but how much is hype, and where is the real value? This panel cuts through the noise to reveal practical AI applications transforming trading desks today, from macro-aware algos and anomaly detection to workflow automation and decision support. Panelists will share how their firms are building, training, and governing AI systems, as well as the compliance, infrastructure, and cultural shifts required to unlock ROI. Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or looking to refine your edge, this session will help you pinpoint the highest-impact use cases for your desk.

  • Developing overarching AI strategies instead of piecemeal implementations
  • What efficiencies does AI in trading bring, and what do they actually look like?
