My OSFF London 2026 Story: Heat, Human Connection, and the Agentic Shift

I started the morning of Open Source in Finance Forum London 2026 earlier than I probably needed to, but I am glad I did. After breakfast, I stepped out into the intense London heat at around 7:40am and began the 1.5-mile walk along the river toward the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster. It was already warm enough to make the walk feel like a small endurance event, but there was something energising about heading toward the conference on foot, mentally preparing for the day ahead.
