For the leaders who choose discomfort over delegation

You can't lead AI
from a slide deck.
Build with your hands.
Lead from the front.

Who This Is For

For the leaders whose teams are watching.

Your people are overwhelmed and looking to you for a signal — not a memo, a signal. This room is for the executives who already understand: distance from the tools is distance from the strategy.

One seat per company. Tech and IT leaders are welcome at our follow-on workshops — this room is reserved for the executives shaping AI strategy.

The Morning

Three moves. From AI in theory to AI in your hands.

Learn

What's actually working in Canadian lending.

Real numbers. Real failures. What's actually deployed inside Canadian lending today — from the people doing it.

Build

Your idea. Your hands. Real software.

Clustered with peers tackling a similar workflow. An AI developer at your table. You drive. Together you ship.

Ship

Demo, commit, take it home.

Two-minute demos. A 30/60/90 plan to bring it home and put it to work. A peer cohort that becomes one of the most useful AI networks you have.

Your Hosts

Convened by.

Common Questions

Before you apply.

Do I need any technical background?

No. The AI developer at your table handles the code. You drive the direction.

What if I don't know what workflow to bring?

Every accepted attendee gets a 15-minute call with Reuven or Chris to sharpen the idea before June 24.

Is the room confidential?

Yes. No press, no recording, Chatham House rules.

What's the catch?

No catch. We want the Canadian lending industry moving faster on AI, and this is our way of contributing. The venue is covered by sponsors — but no one will be pitching, selling, or speaking from the stage.

Apply

Twenty seats. Apply to join.

Every seat reviewed personally by Reuven or Chris. The room closes once it's full.

Seniority is the willingness to be a beginner when it matters most.
