As the annual T3 Technology Conference nears, AI’s significance for wealthtech and the overall wealth management sector is only growing. The theme of this year’s conference is “From Noise to Knowledge: The FinTech Playbook for 2026 and Beyond.”

AI is expected to play a starring role at the conference, to be held March 9-12 at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.

The 2026 conference will debut its AI University on March 9, which T3 producer Joel Bruckenstein said will offer an immersive learning experience designed to help advisors, planners, and professionals with practical AI implementation advice and demonstrations.

Wealth Solutions Report spoke with Joel Bruckenstein of T3 Technology Tools for Today, as well as Sean Sandys of Syntax Data and John O’Connell of The Oasis Group (both of whom will be “professors” at AI University), for this insightful article discussing 2026 as the year of serious AI adoption.

They answered this question: “Why do you think this will be the year of serious AI adoption – and what does that mean for wealth solutions, investment management, financial planning, and practice management?”
