How we got here: Leeds Building Society’s Data, Cloud, AI journey

Organised by Leeds Building Society

Learn about our journey to modernising our data and cloud platform to help us better support our members and colleagues and help us futureproof our digital offering.

Join us for a panel discussion with key leaders involved in the project to find out:

  • Why we choose to start the journey;
  • The issues we faced;
  • What we’ve learnt along the way.

During the discussion we’ll look to the future and discuss the possibilities AI could introduce. We’ll also look at what our onboarding journey was like, how it can help and what we’d do differently if starting again.
