XT26 was organized by Grid Dynamics, concentrating on AI in finance and its increasing volatility. This exclusive meeting included more than 250 top executives from technology companies. Also, the participants came from international financial firms and capital market organizations.
The conference was held at Tower Hill in London. Besides, XT26 celebrated 10 years of XT conferences. XT has turned into an established platform for financial engineering professionals. Its main advantage is its practical approach to topics rather than sales.
“XT26 brought together the engineering leaders who are closest to these problems, the people building and maintaining software systems under real regulatory pressure,” said Jon Pither, CEO at JUXT, a Grid Dynamics company. “That is the conversation financial services needs to be having right now, and it is exactly what this event delivered.”
Industry Leaders Share Insights on AI and Financial Innovation
The event featured speakers from Bank of America, Citi, HSBC, UBS, and JPMorgan. Moreover, executives from Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and NatWest were among those in attendance. Such speakers provided practical insights on scaling technologies.
The topics covered include the creation of measurable business value through AI within financial services, regulation, and resiliency. Furthermore, the speakers talked about the management of complexity and scaling development.
“I truly enjoyed XT26 and learned a lot from every speaker. The corporate world doesn’t always make space for rigorous engineering, which is exactly why a forum built around financial sector practitioners feels so necessary,” said Simone Steel, CIO Data & AI at Deutsche Bank.
Sessions discussed AI implementation strategies, low latency systems, and platform engineering. At the same time, specialists discussed the limitations of agentic software development. The concluding panel brought up an important question on accelerating AI technologies. Grid Dynamics is continuously improving its knowledge in financial services. It allows the company to develop scalable solutions for clients.
