Microsoft: The Governance Foundation for Scalable AI in Lending

Register here: [https://luma.com/nikh92bc?utm_source=mu](https://luma.com/nikh92bc?utm_source=mu) On October 7, Celestial Systems and Microsoft are hosting a session in New York for senior lending leaders who want to see what production-grade AI governance actually looks like, not frameworks on paper, not pilots that never made it past legal review. Melody Yin (Microsoft) and Lucky Chandra (Celestial Systems) will walk through a live demonstration of AI-enabled lending on Azure AI Foundry, what separates institutions deploying AI with real auditability from those stuck in proof-of-concept, and how to build the governance foundation your board and regulators will actually sign off on. This session is for CIOs, CTOs, Chief Credit Officers, Chief Risk Officers, COOs, and VPs of Lending, Credit Risk, or Digital Transformation who are ready to move past the theory and see what a defensible path to scale looks like. 📅 Wednesday, October 7, 2026 ⏰ 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM EDT 📍 Microsoft, New York, United States Space is limited, invitation-only.
