With over 95% meeting satisfaction rates, Future Proof’s innovative formats, like facilitated one-to-one meetings, drive real value and connections.
The event aligns with the growing integration of AI in finance, as seen in recent industry developments.

Future Proof Citywide 2026 positions attendees to lead this shift, addressing challenges like ROI and feedback loops noted in MIT’s 2025 report on AI pilots. The event’s timing, within the critical 24-36 month window, underscores its role in defining the next decades of finance.
