Institutional AI: From Multi-Agent to Long-Horizon Agent
Hosted by LinqAlpha, The AI for Finance Summit is a private gathering for senior finance professionals to explore the industry's next technical frontier. The Los Angeles edition's theme is "From Multi-Agent to Long-Horizon Agent," tracking the shift from AI systems that execute isolated tasks to agents built for sustained, multi-step work inside the investment process. Los Angeles is where that shift gets tested. PIMCO, TCW, Oaktree, Ares, DoubleLine, Capital Group, Dimensional and Beach Point sit in one city, and credit research in particular is the hardest work to hand to an agent that runs for hours without a person watching.
The afternoon opens with a fireside with the CTO of a Santa Monica credit manager, then a live demo, then three panels: the equity desk, the credit desk, and the build side on getting data and infrastructure ready for AI. Drinks and networking follow. This Los Angeles edition, held during LA Tech Week, continues a global series with past events in Boston (with J.P. Morgan), New York (with OpenBB and Guidepoint), Seoul (with LSEG and LG AI Research) and London (hosted at Deutsche Bank).
To facilitate candid discussion, the summit will be held under the Chatham House Rule. No recording or press will be permitted. We are pleased to acknowledge the support of our sponsor, AQR Capital Management. Admission is by non-transferable invitation only.
What to expect: - A fireside and three panels on what is genuinely in production on an investment desk, and what quietly got switched off again - Peer-level networking with a curated group of senior finance and investment professionals - A private forum for candid conversation, governed by the Chatham House Rule
