Join us for the FIG | Financial Industry Group Annual Conference 2025, where this year’s theme is to explore the use of AI in the financial and professional services cluster in Norwich and Norfolk.
The use of AI by individuals and businesses is proceeding apace and it is expected that its adoption will lead to considerable change in processes, innovation and productivity improvements in all sectors, public and private. ChatGPT, for example, apparently has around 400 million weekly active users currently, a staggering statistic, and this is growing by the day.
FIG is excited to be bringing you a diverse range of speakers for the event with the objective of summarising the art of what is possible currently and in the future. We are delighted to be collaborating closely with FIG members, CODER, Aviva, Norfolk County Council & Fosters Solicitors.
