Announcing the Machine Earning AI Summit, Our New AI Commerce & Finance Event
Hear from Airwallex's Jack Zhang, Lead Bank's Jackie Reses, Faire's Max Rhodes, OnePay's Omer Ismail & more on Sept. 29.
What does online shopping look like in a world where people authorize agents to spend money on their behalf?
How does banking change now that every consumer has a language model at their fingertips to help them navigate once-unfathomably complicated financial products?
How does money flow in a world where the very payment rails themselves can be imbued with intelligence?
These are some of the questions we’re hoping to answer at our one-day, invite-only Machine Earning AI Summit on Tuesday, Sept. 29 in San Francisco.
Like our Cerebral Valley AI Summits, this event will be attended by top founders, investors, media, and other AI insiders. We’re just going to be really, really obsessive about commerce and finance.
We can announce our first set of speakers, including:
Omer Ismail, founder & CEO of OnePay
Jackie Reses, founder & CEO of Lead Bank
Jack Zhang, founder & CEO of Airwallex
Max Rhodes, founder & CEO of Faire
Founders, investors, and other leaders focused on the intersection of commerce and AI should apply to attend.
More speakers and a dedicated set of discussion group leaders will be announced in the coming weeks.
Big thanks to our inaugural sponsors Airwallex and Lead Bank.

Close watchers of Newcomer will know that we’ve taken a winding journey with fintech events. We started off with the Newcomer Banking Summit in 2024, which marked the one-year anniversary of the Silicon Valley Bank crisis.
Then, in 2025, we took the best elements of that event and hosted the wonderful Breaking the Bank Summit.
This year, we’re leaning into our expertise in artificial intelligence and our enthusiasm for agentic commerce to bring you what will be a fantastic Machine Earning AI Summit.
You won’t want to miss it.
