KEYNOTE SESSION + Q&A
The Era of Intelligent Brokerage:
From Digital Tools to an Intelligent Ecosystem
In this keynote, Angelos Gregoriou will explore how the brokerage industry has entered a new era of intelligent operations, where AI, automation, and real-time data work together as integrated components of an intelligent ecosystem.
Angelos will discuss technologies such as NFC-powered KYC/IDV onboarding, AI behavioral anomaly and fraud detection, AI voice call analysis, lead and customer scoring and distribution, AI-assisted operations, and intelligent user-facing touchpoints and UX.
These capabilities reach their full potential when operating within a CRM ecosystem that unifies all operational data across a brokerage - from internal processes to every client interaction - bringing together the information firms already see, the patterns they often miss, and signals hidden in data they would otherwise never see, enabling smarter decisions, less risk, stronger compliance, and more efficient growth.
