Towards Automated Compliance for Software Delivery in Financial Services. In-person morning leadership briefing and peer discussion

The pace of software delivery in financial services is accelerating fast and AI is about to push it faster still. As AI-generated code enters the pipeline, leaders face a harder version of an old problem - how do you move quickly while maintaining controls, audit trails, and regulatory compliance?

This invitation-only event brings together software engineering leaders from London’s financial services community who have deep, hands-on expertise in automated software delivery governance. Speakers from Team Topologies, Kosli, and GRC Engineering will share real-world strategies for bridging the gap between compliance and software delivery. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and shape the discussion. This is not a passive briefing and you should come prepared to engage.
