On Oct. 8, Monitor will bring equipment finance professionals together for Converge AI, a five-hour event designed to move the industry beyond conversations about AI and toward practical application.
Taking place from 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET, Converge AI features nine practitioner-led breakout sessions across three areas of focus: TODAY, BE REVOLUTIONARY and BUILD-ROADMAP. Attendees choose three sessions, creating an experience based on the challenges, opportunities and priorities most relevant to their role and organization.
“AI is impacting every part of the business, but organizations are entering this conversation from very different starting points,” Lisa Rafter, publisher of Monitor, said. “We created Converge AI to give the industry a place to work through those questions together, learn from people who are actively doing the work and leave with greater clarity around what comes next.”
Nine Sessions. Three Choices. One Experience Built Around You.
The Converge AI breakout lineup includes:
- From Curiosity to Capability: Building an AI-Ready Organization — Tawnya Stone, GreatAmerica
- You’re Running a Parkour Course — Deborah Reuben, TomorrowZone, and Moto Tohda, Tokyo Century (USA)
- Both Sides of the Cake — Sohini Roy, 3Degrees
- What It Takes to Automate Credit Decisions — Goutham Balaraman, Crossroads Equipment Lease & Finance
- AI with Guardrails — Kristin Esche, Agiloft
- AI in Origination — Ryan Ragland, Valiant
- Building AI Into the Technology Environment — Steven Siler, North Mill Equipment Finance
- Before You Automate the Workflow: What AI Will Inherit in Equipment Finance — David Giller, Brainiate
- Robotics: An Emerging Asset Class With New Rules — Scott Nelson, Reuleaux Technology, and Zachary Kimball, Hardfin
Converge AI was built for professionals across the organization — from executive leadership and technology to credit, risk, operations, legal, compliance, sales and marketing. Its customizable format also gives companies the opportunity to bring teams, divide across sessions and return with a broader view of how AI can impact the business.
Each breakout is a focused, 50-minute working session, and attendees will receive the Converge AI Playbook to capture insights, questions and next steps throughout the experience.
Monitor’s Converge AI takes place Oct. 8, 2026, from 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET. Registration is $349 per person or $300 per person for teams of five or more.
