Event Overview
NYC AI Day 2026
Infosys invites you to join the third edition of NYC AI Day 2026. Centered around the theme of Unlocking AI Value in Financial Services, this year’s event will examine what it takes to move AI from ambition to execution.
As financial services firms look beyond pilots and experimentation, the challenge is no longer whether AI matters, but how to apply it with purpose and at scale. In partnership with Google Cloud, NYC AI Day 2026 will bring together industry leaders to explore real-world relevance, responsible deployment, and the operational, governance, and readiness considerations that are shaping the future of financial services.
