 Scaling Open Source Readiness in Financial Institutions

This panel brings together leaders from Fannie Mae, RBC Capital Markets, and Morgan Stanley—three global financial institutions actively shaping their internal and external open source strategies. Moderated by FINOS, the conversation will focus on what it takes to launch, operationalize, and scale open source readiness programs within highly regulated environments.

 Establishing and Scaling the Open Source Program Office (OSPO) at TD Bank

An Open Source Program Office (OSPO) is in a strategic position to help ensure a Financial Institution gets the most out of open source, as well as successfully leverage open source AI models and agentic systems, and prepare for the Cyber Resiliency Act (CRA) and the increased regulatory scrutiny of open source. But what are the steps in establishing and scaling and OSPO and what are some common roadblocks that need to be overcome?

 License Governance That Scales: Lessons From Fidelity

Licenses are the backbone of open source, and your OSPO and legal team need to govern them effectively and efficiently. But how do you get that solid footing in the first place? Fidelity will discuss lessons learned while implementing our OSS license program, with a specific focus on how we ensure new licenses are governed consistently with existing ones. If you're on the hook when someone says 'We found new licenses with our SCA tool, can we use them?' then this talk is for you.
