About the roundtable
Pascal AI Labs and Bare Cove Technology are bringing together 20–25 senior leaders from hedge funds and asset managers for an invite-only dinner and discussion on AI in institutional finance.
Over the past year, AI has moved from experimentation towards day-to-day use across investment firms. As firms look to bring AI into core fund workflows, the questions around implementation, data infrastructure, governance and controls are becoming harder to solve in isolation.
This session is an opportunity for leaders working through these challenges to compare notes and learn from how their peers are approaching them.
The evening will begin with dinner and a brief welcome before moving into a moderated discussion on the realities of deploying AI across investment workflows. Rowel Balot (CTO, Bare Cove Technology) and Vibhav Viswanathan (CEO & Co-Founder, Pascal AI Labs) will lead the conversation across three segments of 15–20 minutes each. Together, they will explore the infrastructure and controls needed to make AI work reliably at scale.
We'll then open the floor for guests to share their experiences, raise questions and exchange perspectives, followed by optional networking.
