Building Quantum-Ready Security Strategies
Presented by PwC
Quantum computing is moving from a distant possibility to an increasingly pressing risk for businesses of all sizes, with the potential to weaken today’s cryptographic foundations and expose sensitive, long-lived data.

Join us for a panel discussion on how enterprises can navigate the shift to quantum-safe security.

Auditable AI: Why the Future of Internal Audit Is About Trust, Not Just Speed
1 CPE Credit | Field of Study – Information Technology
Presented by Trullion
The promise of AI in finance is efficiency. But the harder question — the one boards are starting to ask — is accountability. When an AI flags a risk, approves a transaction, or surfaces an anomaly, can you explain why? Can you trace it? Can you defend it?
That's the emerging standard of "Auditable AI," and internal audit sits at the center of it — both as a function that needs to adopt AI responsibly and as the team accountable for governing how AI is used across the enterprise. In this session, we'll explore how leading internal audit teams are navigating this dual reality: moving from fragmented, manual workflows to connected platforms for end-to-end evidence management — while simultaneously building the frameworks to audit the AI their organizations are already deploying.
Presenter:
Ryan Himmel | General Manager, Office of the CFO | Trullion

Afternoon Break

Digital Assets Go Mainstream: Stablecoins, Tokenization, and U.S. Regulation
1 CPE Credit | Field of Study – Information Technology
Presented by KPMG
The promise of AI in finance is efficiency. But the harder question — the one boards are starting to ask — is accountability. When an AI flags a risk, approves a transaction, or surfaces an anomaly, can you explain why? Can you trace it? Can you defend it?
Blockchain is moving from the periphery of finance into core market infrastructure, reshaping how organizations manage and transfer value. Join KPMG’s Greg Genega for this general session to explore a practical view of where digital assets are delivering value today and where adoption is accelerating. We will also double-click into payment stablecoins and their role as emerging payment rails, the tokenization of money market funds, bank deposits, and securities, and share recent regulatory developments including recently passed and proposed legislation, as well as the latest guidance from U.S. regulatory bodies.
Presenter:
Greg Genega | Lead Specialist, Digital Innovation | KPMG
