Why this event

AI agents for alpha generation.

How is AI really being used in research inside financial institutions today? Where does it help, where does it fall short, and what's holding it back? This evening brings together quant, data and AI practitioners across London to talk honestly about where things stand and where they're heading over the next six to twelve months. Keynote, panel, and time to talk.

    Welcome: Why This Room, Tonight

    Everyone has seen an agent demo. Almost nobody has seen one survive a quarter in production. That gap is what the evening is for.

    AI as a Research Multiplier

    How autonomous agents accelerate the research loop: generating hypotheses, validating them, and moving what works toward deployment. Jason Hillary, CTO & Co-founder at Zerve AI, walks through what it takes to get agents doing real research, coordinating specialist agents on a single problem, reproducing published papers end to end, running large volumes of tests in parallel, and keeping every result auditable and traceable back to its sources.

    Telling Signal from Noise When Research Is Cheap

    The hard part of quant research was never finding ideas. It was knowing which ones were real. As agents make it possible to generate and test far more, that judgement matters more, not less, and it's harder to hold onto when the volume goes up. Heads of research on how they separate signal from noise now, what agents have changed about that, and what they're watching for as everyone gains the same speed.
