The New Standard · Private Roundtable & Lunch
Every Bank CEO is mandating AI. Few know exactly where to start.
Join us for a closed-door conversation for Bank CEOs. No presentations, no pitches. Limited seats. By invitation only.
About The New Standard
In 1944, global leaders met in Bretton Woods and built the rules the financial system ran on for the next fifty years. What's inspiring isn't just their legacy but it's how they did it. They hashed it out in a room, together, before anyone had the answers.
AI is doing the same thing to financial services right now. The institutions that get ahead of it aren't the ones with the biggest budgets, they're the ones comparing notes with the right people.
On August 12, we're bringing a small group of Bank leaders together in New York for a private lunch and roundtable. This is not a conference. It is a working conversation among peers, off the record, no vendor pitches, no presentations. We'll cut through the noise together: what's actually automatable in your institution, what's hype, and what moves the needle on growth and compliance costs.
"Every Bank CEO I talk to is sitting with the same uncomfortable reality: AI is moving faster than any governance framework, the board wants growth, but the back office is already at capacity."
- Will Lawrence, Founder & CEO, Bretton AI

Breakout Session A: The Other Side of AI: How Criminals Are Using the Same Tools You Just Bought

Your Host
Will Lawrence, Founder & CEO · Bretton AI
Will founded Bretton AI to solve a problem he watched compliance teams struggle with for years inside companies like Meta and Paxos — the inability to scale rigor without scaling headcount. Bretton AI builds audit-ready agents that work inside existing compliance systems, turning the back office into a force multiplier rather than a bottleneck.
