AI Beyond the Hype: Building, Trusting and Scaling Real-World Technology

As part of Cambridge Tech Week, Rathbones is hosting a private dinner for a curated group of founders, investors, business owners and technology leaders.

The evening will be anchored by a fireside conversation with Gary Brotman, CEO of Secondmind, exploring how AI is moving beyond hype and into real-world industrial and commercial application. He will be joined by Gareth John of First Intuition and Chair of the ICAEW's Education & Training Board, along with Stephen Quick, co-founder of FinCrime Dynamics, for a broader discussion on skills, trust, regulated markets and the practical realities of scaling technology-led businesses.

Hosted over dinner at Market House, the event is designed to create a thoughtful, candid and high-quality conversation among people shaping the next phase of Cambridge’s innovation economy.
