AI is the elephant in the room, and it’s not going anywhere.
This year, we’re putting it front and center at Future Proof Festival 2025, the largest annual marketplace of fintechs and RIA decision-makers. The AI Demo Drop is your chance to be part of it. It’s a live showcase of the most advanced AI tools being built for wealth managers and RIAs. The fintech demos will focus on real use cases, real traction, and real business impact.
If you’re building something that brings AI from concept to application in financial services, this is the stage to prove it.
From Fintech to What’s Next
This idea came straight out of the room at the Future Proof Leaders Retreat. Across every session and conversation, one theme kept surfacing: AI is the most important, least understood force shaping the RIA industry today.
What we heard was clear: leaders aren’t looking for more empty talk or buzzwords. They want real tools that are working now, solutions that enhance planning, streamline compliance, deepen client engagement, and optimize investment workflows, and more.
The AI Demo Drop is our response to that shift in urgency and focus. It’s the next step in our evolution from fintech demos to something more timely, shaped by leaders who are driving the RIA industry forward.
This is your behind-the-scenes look at where AI is already making a difference, from intelligent workflows to smarter client interactions. And it’s happening live, on stage, in front of the largest audience of decision-makers in wealth management.
What Finalists Walk Away With
Seven companies will be selected to present live at Future Proof Festival. Here’s what’s included:

- 5 Hosted Breakthru Meetings with high-value decision-makers in the RIA industry.
