5 Reasons to Attend DataSnipper Connect 2026 London

For many firms, they will spend 2026 still running AI pilots. Others will be closing audits in half the time.  These teams that move from experimentation to execution will define the next decade of what that looks like in their workflows.  

On June 2–3, 2026, DataSnipper Connect arrives in London for two days of hands-on learning, real stories, and a first look at where the audit and finance world is heading with AI.  

What you'll learn at DataSnipper Connect '26 in London: 

• Why the AI pilot phase is over and what the firms already in production are doing differently
• How to build a case for agentic AI inside a risk-averse, regulated environment
• What "trusted AI evidence" actually looks like when an agent did the work, and how to document 
• The workflow changes happening right now at leading firms
• The role of regulations like EU AI Act on audit and finance workflows
• How the auditor's role is being redesigned around AI, and what skills will matter most in the next three years

Most audit and finance teams spent 2024 and 2025 running AI experiments: small pilots, proof-of-concepts, cautious tests. That phase is over. The question now is no longer whether to adopt AI, it's how to run it at scale, with the governance and trust that regulated environments demand. 

Connect '26 is built entirely around that transition. Every session, keynote, and workshop is designed to help you move from "we're exploring AI" to "AI is embedded in how we work." You'll hear from practitioners, not theorists, at firms that have already made that leap: what they built, what broke, what they'd do differently, and how they're now running agentic workflows in live audit and finance operations. 

Whether you're a Big Four partner thinking about firm-wide transformation, a controller rethinking your close process, or an internal audit leader evaluating autonomous testing tools, there's a seat at the table for you. 

• Trusted AI Evidence: How do you build and maintain trust in AI-generated outputs? This track covers AI evidence standards, audit documentation in an agentic world, and what regulators are starting to expect from the firms they oversee.
• The Technology-Driven Organization: Firm transformation at the structural level. Workflow redesign, change management, and how leading organisations are rewriting job architectures around AI capability.

• The Augmented Auditor: What does it actually mean to work alongside AI agents day to day? This track is for practitioners: the skills, tools, and mental models for a profession being fundamentally reshaped.

Sessions span keynotes, practitioner panels, and interactive workshops with speakers from leading firms. Come for one track or all three, and split the team across them to maximize what you bring back.

The FRC has published new guidance on Generative and Agentic AI in audit. Most firms are still working out what it means for them. 

Our panel discussions will include regulator’s perspective, explaining exactly what firms are expected to do: how to think about AI risk across your audit procedures, what your certification process needs to cover, and why human accountability doesn't change just because an agent is doing more of the work. 

You'll leave knowing: 

• The categories the FRC has identified for AI-enabled audit procedures and how they apply differently in agentic versus non-agentic contexts
• What the FRC expects from your system design, testing, and governance processes
• What firms should already be doing now and what the FRC is watching for next

London is one of the world's most important financial centers, and in 2026, it’s where we DataSnipper Connect's global series is kicking off. That means these conversations that will set the agenda for the year. 

The audience is as valuable as the program. Across two days you'll be in the same room as audit partners, CFOs, controllers, risk leaders, and technology heads from some of Europe's most forward-thinking firms. The hallway conversations, roundtable debates, and shared lunches are where some of the most useful thinking happens. 

Connect '26 is where DataSnipper's roadmap goes public. London attendees get the first look at how we're evolving the platform, not just to keep pace with where AI is going, but to help define it for audit and finance specifically. 

We'll share what we're seeing across thousands of firms using DataSnipper globally: which workflows are changing fastest, where AI evidence is becoming table stakes, and how the profession's skill requirements are shifting. And we'll show you exactly how the product is being built to meet those needs. 

Enter the era of Agentic AI

Earlier this year, we released Excel Agents. Excel Agents automate audit and finance workflows directly inside Excel. Describe your goal, and the agent handles the matching, extracting, comparing, and reconciling, with results your team can actually see, review, and sign off on. 

Whether you're coming for the insights, the community, or the inspiration, we'd love to see you in London.
