Tech Enablement and AI
Keynote Address by Ashby Monk, Executive & Research Director, Stanford Research Initiative on Long-Term Investing
Technology is not just adding new tools to investing; it is changing the underlying machinery of how investment organizations think, decide, and act. In this presentation, Ashby Monk explores how AI, data systems, and new digital infrastructure are beginning to rewire the core gears of investment institutions, from governance and decision-making to implementation and scale.
The result is not simply greater efficiency, but the potential emergence of a very different kind of investor: faster, more integrated, and better equipped for a world of rising complexity.

DLA Piper Panel
Kevin Nolan, Jeremy Doane
As private market investors face mounting pressure to deploy capital efficiently while maintaining rigorous underwriting standards, artificial intelligence is reshaping how such investors engage with their investment processes. This session will explore how such tools are enhancing investment workflows across the private markets lifecycle from potential investment identification and benchmarking through diligence, risk assessment, decision-making, and portfolio monitoring.
Drawing on DLA Piper's experience advising institutional investors, the discussion will examine the practical applications of AI in deal sourcing, diligence, and portfolio management and emerging best practices for integrating these tools into existing investment processes.

Alter Domus Panel
Marcin Bednarz, Elliott BrownPrivate equity firms are not asking whether to use AI and automation. They are asking where it actually changes outcomes. This panel explores how intelligent systems and modern service models are being applied across private equity operations - not in theory, but in practice - to improve decision speed, portfolio insight, operational resilience, and investor outcomes.
