Agentic AI is rapidly moving from concept to reality, but many organisations are still grappling with how to translate its potential into scalable, production-ready use cases. Questions around architecture integration, build versus buy decisions, and governance are becoming critical as firms look to move beyond experimentation.

This session will explore the practical realities of deploying agentic AI within complex enterprise environments. 

• How to decide what to build vs buy to accelerate deployment and maximise value 
• How to integrate AI agents into existing data and technology ecosystems 
• How to operationalise agentic AI with the right controls to ensure scalability, security and measurable outcomes

While quantum computing may still be emerging, its potential impact on cryptography, data architecture and advanced analytics is significant. Financial institutions must begin to consider how decisions made today could affect future resilience, security and performance. This panel will explore the practical implications of quantum technologies for financial markets. 

• What are the risks to current encryption and data security models? 
• How could quantum capabilities reshape optimisation and analytics? 
• What architectural and governance decisions should organisations be making now to prepare for long-term disruption?
