Fintech NerdCon 2026
Meet Bretton AI in San Diego
Bretton AI is heading to Fintech NerdCon 2026, three days of operator-led content and conversations with fintech builders, November 18-20 in San Diego. Two of our leaders are on the agenda on Friday, November 20.
Getting AI Past the Review Board
Panel · Friday, November 20 · 2:50 - 3:20 PM PT · The Vault
Will Lawrence, Co-Founder & CEO of Bretton AI, and Areg Nzsdejan, Founder & CEO of Cardamon
Getting an AI tool working is one thing. Getting it through legal, compliance, security and procurement is another. Will and Areg dig into what it takes to move from a promising pilot to an approved deployment, including:
- The evidence reviewers actually need
- How to define meaningful controls
- Where teams get stuck
AI Just Scales the Mess Faster
Fireside Chat · Friday, November 20 · 3:15 - 3:40 PM PT · AI Command Center
Natasha Vernier, COO of Bretton AI (moderator), with Laura Spiekerman, Co-founder & President of Alloy
AI can speed up a workflow, but it also amplifies bad data, fragmented controls and unclear ownership. Tash and Laura get into why automation disappoints when the underlying risk operation is already messy, the foundation teams need before adding agents, and how to use AI for leverage without scaling inconsistency faster than judgment.
