Join Industry Leaders at the Premier Open Finance Event!

We are delighted to host the second annual Open Finance Conference as a community event during Boston FinTech Week. This conference, which is an industry-academia collaboration, is the premier conference on open finance. The theme of this year’s Open Finance Conference is AI Applications in Industry (AIAI-2026). Participants will explore how open standards and open-source technologies are driving innovation in AI and how these open technologies are being used by the industry leaders to speed innovation, future-proof their infrastructure, lower costs, and collaborate with industry partners.

This conference will bring together industry professionals to share experiences and best practices on the use of open technologies in industry and to discuss roadmaps for the structured and secure adoption of open technologies. Hosted alongside the AIAI-2026 at the same venue at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is the 2026 International Conference on Open Finance (ICOF 2026). At ICOF 2026 academic researchers will present the latest findings on new econometric tools, agentic AI, GenAI, blockchains, stablecoins, open technologies and their potential application to industry. All participants will be able to access any non-workshop sessions in AIAI-2026 and ICOF 2026. Industry professionals will be able to interact with academic researchers in a relaxed and collegial setting in break-out sessions or over meals.
