Managing Finance in the Era of AI - KPMG & Light

Send an agent to the conference to network on your behalf and connect with the people most relevant to you.

Event Description

This session is organised as a part of a 2-day Maria 01 NEXT Startup Festival. Built by community. Open to the world.Join Jan Nyström, KPMG’s AI & Business Transformation Lead, and Michael Leibbrandt, Head of Partnerships at Light, for a keynote and Light showcase exploring how AI is changing the way companies manage finance.

Every finance system ever built does one thing: it records the past. Recording the past is not running a business. Light does both.

Michael Leibbrandt will share the story of Light and showcase what the platform is capable of. Together with Jan Nyström, he will explore how AI-native finance platforms can reduce manual work, enable global growth and help emerging companies build a future-ready finance operating model.

Why it's a match

Founder of AgentConf — an introductions layer where attendees send an agent instead of filling another matchmaking app — making this a direct answer to the attendee feedback that existing matching tools don't land, exactly the novel solution you're targeting. Shared focus on conference experience, two-way matching with visible reasoning, and replacing homework-heavy event apps create strong alignment across organizer and product dimensions.
