Day one of the 2026 T3 Technology Conference is in the books, and it was the first-ever AI University: a full-day dedicated entirely to artificial intelligence for financial advisors and wealth management professionals. In this daily recap video, we walk the halls, talk with instructors and advisors, and unpack what they are actually taking home to implement in their firms right now.

From deep dives into prompt engineering and building AI agents, the day was all about practical, in-the-weeds applications of AI – not just high-level theory. Advisors who were merely curious about AI a couple years ago are now treating it as a must-have part of their workflows that help to achieve significant operational efficiencies, while fintech vendors are showcasing live, real-world implementations for the RIA space that firms can plug in today.
