Monk Hosts Net 30: An Applied AI Summit on the Future of Finance
The invitation-only evening, taking place on October 21, 2026, at The Times Center, brings together speakers from prestigious institutions like Clay, McKinsey, Revvity, and Wharton. The focus is on AI applications that reduce costs, free up cash, or drive revenue.
150 CFOs, operators, founders, and researchers will discuss how AI is transforming cash management, capital, and the finance function. While 84% of finance organizations have deployed or plan to deploy AI (according to a Gartner survey), only 7% report significant impact. Monk aims to change this by focusing on AI with tangible financial outcomes.
Net 30 Agenda:
Net 30, named after the standard 30-day payment term, centers around AI's potential to drive:
- Hard ROI: Finance leaders are moving beyond insights to deployments that impact the P&L and cash on hand.
- Cash Flow as Growth Metric: Releasing trapped liquidity is a top priority for global corporates, as highlighted in a Citi Institute report.
- Evolving Role of Strategic Finance: As AI takes on model building and reconciliation, finance leaders are increasingly involved in pricing, product, and strategy.
- Responsible AI Deployment: Exploring where AI creates lasting advantage and how to govern it without slowing business down.
Speakers:
Confirmed speakers include:
- Kavi Suri (formerly HeyGen)
- Karan Parekh (Clay)
- Madhav Srinivasan (FBT Gibbons)
- Itay Goldstein (The Wharton School)
- Damian Lewandowski (McKinsey & Company)
- Jason Pratt (Revvity)
- Ryan Farmer (Vestis)
- Dominic-Madori Davis (TechCrunch, moderator)
The event delves into AI's role in scaling finance with lean teams, distinguishing successful agentic pilots from stalled ones, and exploring how law firms are adapting. It concludes with a discussion on designing the finance organization of 2030, raising questions about the future of human judgment in an AI-driven world.
Attendance is complimentary and by invitation only.
