Keynote: Toronto Built It. Open Source Spread It. Finance Is Running It. Now What? - Mark Paulsen, Head of Open Source Program Office, TD Bank
Tuesday April 14, 2026 9:20am - 9:25am EDT
The AI powering financial services today traces a direct line from open science labs at the University of Toronto and Waterloo — and the open source ecosystem that carried those ideas to the world. This talk frames that lineage as both a point of pride and a call to action for the finance industry. You are here, in this city, at this moment in the history of technology and business — and that is not a coincidence. The challenge now is to honor that legacy by working together as a community to ensure AI is rolled out responsibly, transparently, and for the long-term benefit of the institutions and people who depend on it.

Keynote: Taking Control of AI: Sovereign AI and Open Source in Financial Services - Vincent Caldeira, Chief Technology Officer, APAC, Red Hat
Tuesday April 14, 2026 9:30am - 9:35am EDT
As banks and financial institutions move AI from the testing phase into everyday use, a practical challenge emerges: it is difficult to rely on AI systems when you can't see exactly how they work. In a highly regulated industry, sending sensitive financial data through closed, third-party AI models raise real privacy, security, and compliance concerns.

In this keynote, we will explore why Sovereign AI is a practical approach for the financial sector. We will discuss how the open-source ecosystem provides the clear visibility and security needed to meet strict enterprise-wide risk management rules for AI systems, including OSFI guidelines. Finally, we will share how Red Hat helps organizations build trusted AI in financial services. By using flexible, open platforms, financial institutions can run AI workloads anywhere, ensuring they keep their data, infrastructure, and future innovation fully under their own control.

Keynote: Unlocking Efficiency: Building an Open Ecosystem for Next-Generation Financial Compute - Ritesh Bansal, Citi; Erick Bourgeois, RBC Capital Markets; Flamur Gogolli, Amazon Web Services & Moderated by Tosha Ellison, FINOS
Tuesday April 14, 2026 10:05am - 10:25am EDT
Financial institutions operate some of the world’s most demanding computing environments, managing hundreds of thousands of cores to power everything from sub-second pricing to massive multi-hour risk simulations. Yet, for too long, this scale has been locked behind silos, leading to fragmented infrastructure with utilization rates as low as 15% to 40%. As the industry increases AI-driven workloads, these inefficiencies will be amplified.

In this panel discussion, industry leaders will share how they are collaborating on open standards and projects (including HTC-Grid, OpenGRIS, Open Resource Broker and 5-Spot) to build a unified, AI-ready approach to high-performance computing (HPC). Drawing on real-world experience, they will discuss how these open technologies simplify access to compute, improve utilization, reduce wasted capacity, and optimize the balance between fixed and elastic compute.

Join us to learn how this collaboration will enable risk, quant, and AI teams to operate efficiently at the scale needed for the next generation of financial innovation.

Winning the Case for Open Source Contribution: ROI, Risk, and Real-World Evidence - Elspeth Minty, RBC Capital Markets; Rob Moffat, FINOS; Mimi Flynn, Morgan Stanley; Mark Paulsen, TD Bank
Tuesday April 14, 2026 10:50am - 11:25am EDT
This panel aims to strengthen the case for open source contribution from financial services by moving the conversation from belief to evidence.

By grounding open source contribution in concrete ROI data and real-world financial services experience, the panel equips organizations to make more confident, sustainable decisions about how—and why—they engage with open source. Attendees will gain shared language and metrics they can use internally to justify contribution, align stakeholders across engineering, risk, and leadership, and shift effort away from costly private forks toward healthier collaboration models.

For the ecosystem as a whole, this means:

- More upstream contributions instead of fragmented private forks
- Faster feedback loops between users and maintainers, especially on security and stability
- Stronger, better-resourced projects with long-term institutional support
- Increased participation from regulated industries that historically struggle to justify contribution

By demystifying ROI and showing how contribution directly benefits both firms and communities, this session helps remove one of the biggest barriers to enterprise open source sustainability.

Cross-Firm Interoperability with Secure FDC3 - Rob Moffat, FINOS; Jupnit Kaur, BlackRock; Brian Belman RBC Capital Markets
Tuesday April 14, 2026 11:35am - 12:10pm EDT
This session gives the ecosystem a concrete, shared reference for what secure, interoperable FDC3 looks like in practice.

By combining live demos with real-world use cases from BlackRock and RBC, the talk moves beyond specification theory to show how FDC3 Security & Identity can be implemented and used today. Vendors, platform teams, and end-user firms will leave with a clearer understanding of expected patterns, integration points, and interoperability guarantees as the spec reaches release-candidate maturity.

This accelerates adoption, reduces fragmentation, and increases confidence that open desktop standards can meet enterprise security requirements.

What's the State of Open Source AI in Canada? - Hilary Carter, The Linux Foundation
Tuesday April 14, 2026 12:35pm - 12:50pm EDT
Canada ranks fifth globally in AI investment, boasts 3X the number of patent filings vs the rest of the G7, features an abundance of world-class talent, and best-in-class AI research institutes such as Mila in Montreal and the Vector Institute in Toronto. Yet, Canada lags in its ability to commercialize AI opportunities in this domain, and lags global counterparts in AI and open source collaboration. How can Canadian companies better leverage global AI and open source ecosystems to turn their early R&D investments into competitive solutions that compete on the international stage? And what can Canada learn from other countries about open source opportunities and ROI in the face of trade uncertainties? This session reveals new research led by the LF Research and Meta, exploring Canada's open source AI opportunities - and current challenges.

Open Source as a Pathway to AI Adoption in Financial Services: Opportunities and Risks - Andres Rojas, Vector Institute
Tuesday April 14, 2026 12:55pm - 1:10pm EDT
The gap between AI research and production deployment in financial services is not primarily a technical problem - it is a structural one. Drawing on Vector Institute's co-development experience across 500+ use cases and more than 200 organizations, this session explores how a collaborative approach can compress that gap, under what conditions transparency becomes a competitive asset, and where risks lie, from cybersecurity exposure to the governance challenges that open models surface rather than create.

Open Resource Broker: A Unified API for Cloud Capacity Provisioning in HPC - Flamur Gogolli & Kirill Bogdanov, Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Tuesday April 14, 2026 1:35pm - 2:10pm EDT
Provisioning compute capacity in the cloud should be as straightforward as defining what you need, not where and how to get it. Yet HPC engineers face inconsistent, provider-specific APIs, incompatible provisioning models, and duplicated integration logic across schedulers and clouds. Open Resource Broker (ORB) solves this with a unified, open-source API and abstraction layer for provisioning cloud capacity anywhere.

ORB integrates seamlessly with IBM Spectrum Symphony HostFactory to standardize capacity requests, tracking, and release. Its modular design supports additional schedulers and multiple cloud providers beyond the initial AWS implementation. ORB supports CLI, REST, SDK and MCP APIs for consistent scaling across diverse HPC environments.

We'll demonstrate ORB's architecture, end-to-end provisioning, and resiliency patterns including retries, idempotent operations, and failure recovery. We'll also cover extensibility for new schedulers and cloud APIs.

Built for large-scale financial HPC grids, ORB is now donated to FINOS under Apache 2.0 for open governance. Attendees will learn proven strategies to make HPC capacity management more portable, automated, and sustainable.

From AIGF Reference Architecture To Reusable Reference Implementations: Multi-Agent Systems - Francesco Beltramini, ControlPlane & William Rizzo, Mirantis
Tuesday April 14, 2026 2:20pm - 2:55pm EDT
FINOS AIGF provides a practical, use-case-led way to identify the risk profile of GenAI/agentic systems and select mitigations that are defensible for financial services. In parallel, the FINOS AI Reference Architecture Library is explicitly building threat-modelled architectures whose risks and mitigations are drawn from the AIGF catalogue, so teams can design, deploy, and operate within agreed risk tolerances.

This session proposes (and demos) an AIGF-aligned reference implementation: a composable, GitOps-delivered blueprint that turns FINOS AI reference architecture diagrams into deployable, secure platform patterns. Using k0rdent AI for consistent multi-cluster AI platform provisioning and Flux CD for policy-driven delivery and drift control, we operationalize the FINOS Multi-Agent Reference Architecture threat model (threats mapped to controls across layers such as gateway, MCP, evaluation, and observability). The result is a reusable stack that can be instantiated across cloud and bare metal, and that produces measurable assurance evidence aligned to Use Case → Risks → Metrics.

Building the Open Data Commons: Why Finance Needs a Shared Entity Graph - Jose Plehn, OpenData.Org; Nora Anwar, Overture Maps Foundation; Hilary Carter, The Linux Foundation; Jane Gavronsky, FINOS
Tuesday April 14, 2026 5:25pm - 6:00pm EDT
Data is foundational to digital businesses and critical for training accurate AI models; poor quality or copyrighted data introduces major risks and liabilities. Beyond IT, reliable, enriched business data—including company information, legal entities, and ownership structures—is essential for competitive advantage and managing risk in sectors like financial services. Currently, this vital data is fragmented, inconsistently defined, and costly to reconcile. This expert panel will explore the rapidly changing open data opportunity and what it means for financial services and other industries. The discussion will center on the benefits of an open data consortium, which employs shared governance and open standards to collaboratively maintain datasets for the benefit of all users and AI models. Success requires a structured global entity graph, sourced from verified public records, to underpin critical workflows like KYB/KYC, AML, risk management, and AI. Panelists will detail how to build and sustain this asset, addressing data definitions, governance, and the balance between openness, privacy, and commercial involvement. This is an opportunity for financial institutions and open source leaders to engage in shaping shared data infrastructure.
