Where the governance question is being argued in public.
Open source finance, agent standards, security and risk, and enterprise data. These are the rooms where the rules that will govern AI in regulated institutions are being drafted, and iTmethods is in them. The schedule below belongs to the organisers rather than to us.
This list is current as at 17 August 2026. Every date, venue and program below belongs to the organiser and can change without reference to us.
The schedule
The events on our calendar for the rest of the year.
Each row is the organiser's published schedule as we recorded it. Confirm the detail with the organiser before you book anything, because they own it and we do not.

|---|---|---|---|
| Big Data and AI Paris 2026 | 15 to 16 September 2026 | Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Paris, France | RX France |

Read this as a schedule, not as a commitment. Listing an event means it is on our calendar for the year. It is not a promise that a named person will be on the floor on a given day, it is not an endorsement of the organiser or the program, and none of these organizations has expressed a view on Reign. If you want to meet someone specific, arrange it in advance rather than assuming.
Why these four
Four different rooms, one unresolved question.
The question is the same in all of them: when an institution lets a model or an agent touch production, who can answer for what happened. Each room approaches it from a different side.
Open source finance
Banks, their suppliers and the people writing the open standards for AI governance and shared controls are in one room. iTmethods is a FINOS member and builds against those standards in the open rather than around them.
Agent standards
The open protocols that tool calling is settling on, including the Model Context Protocol. iTmethods is a member of the Agentic AI Foundation, and Reign Gateway governs the calls those protocols carry.
Security and risk
Security and risk leaders own the AI governance question inside most institutions, whether or not it was assigned to them. What they need is a boundary that holds and a record that survives the question.
Enterprise data and AI
The European enterprises putting AI into production, and the gap between a working pilot and something an examiner will accept. That gap is the whole subject of this site.
Membership is participation. It is not endorsement, and it is not a review of anything iTmethods builds. The Linux Foundation and FINOS are trademarks of The Linux Foundation.
Already held
The one that has been and gone.
Kept on the page rather than deleted, because an events page that only ever shows the future is a page nobody can check.

If you are going
Arrange it before you travel.
A conversation at an event is worth having when both sides have prepared for it. Ours is a working session rather than a stand demonstration.
- Say which event, and what you want to talk about. The estate you have inherited, the regime you are examined against, or the specific thing that is not working. Any of the three is a good starting point.
- Bring the awkward question. The deployment shape that may not fit your residency rule, the evidence your reviewer keeps asking for, or the part of the pitch you do not believe. Those are the useful conversations.
- Expect a plain answer about scope. We will tell you what we would look at first and where your requirement sits against the one deployment model available today, and we will not quote a price or a timeline on a show floor.
- If there is no fit, we will say so there. That is a better use of both parties' time than a follow-up sequence.
Write to reign@itmethods.com with the event in the subject line, or book a briefing and say which event you are attending.
On the accuracy of this page
What to do if a date here is wrong.
Conference schedules move, venues change and programs get rearranged. This page is a record of what was published when it was written.
Every row above was taken from the organiser's published schedule and recorded on 17 August 2026. We do not maintain a live feed from any of these organizations, so treat the organiser's own site as the authority on all four and this page as a statement of where we intend to be.
If you find a row here that no longer matches the organiser, tell us at reign@itmethods.com and it will be corrected. A page of stale dates is worse than no page at all, and we would rather be told than left to find out.
Next step
Meet us with something real in front of us.
The best version of a conversation at any of these events is the one where you have already told us what you are dealing with. Write first, and the meeting starts at the second question rather than the first.
