Categories

Experience exceptional speakers & session across three of the most important categories in our space

Trusted AI Evidence

The audit profession stands at a critical juncture: AI is entering workflows rapidly, but can it be trusted as audit evidence? This track examines how to adopt AI that supports, not replaces, professional judgment.

The Technology-Driven Firm

Audit and finance organizations are undergoing their most significant transformation in decades. This track explores how firms are becoming technology enterprises: requiring new technical capabilities, governance structures, and talent models.

The Augmented Auditor

AI's real value isn't in chatbots, it's in agentic systems that amplify human capability. This track moves beyond surface-level automation to explore AI that actively strengthens professional judgment

Closing Keynote Panel: Who's Really in Charge?
A Customer Debate on AI Autonomy vs. Human Control

Your AI can do more than ever. But how much of your process should it own? Join DataSnipper's Director of Customer Success, Dirk van Portfliet, and a panel of practitioners you will recognize for a debate-style conversation on one of the defining decisions of the AI era. Advocates for keeping humans meaningfully in the loop go head to head with those pushing for full AI ownership of end-to-end workflows. Rounds cover risk, speed, trust, accountability, and the messy middle ground most organizations actually live in.
