Thoughts Comparing Two Recent Banking Events

I had the pleasure of attending two industry events in relatively rapid succession:

  • BAI Beacon – 4-5 October, Atlanta

  • BankAI – 16-17 October, Boston

    Knowing that everyone’s time is scarce, and wanting to help you maximize it, I compare these two events in the spirit of attendees making smart choices and sponsors maximizing their event spend.

BAI Beacon

BankAI

Event Positioning

…These valuable interactions will give you wide-ranging perspectives to stimulate new ideas and help you to think differently. And BAI Beacon’s fast-paced, focused agenda will help you maximize your learning and minimize your time away from the office. You’ll come away informed, connected and energized—for success in 2018 and beyond.

…will bring AI pioneers and the newbies together so that all can collaborate, learn and bring this technology to life in the most intelligent way.
