# The Convening — Lime Fintech > A private, invitation-only working session on AI-driven trading and quant > finance. Not a panel, not a webinar — a closed table of people who have run > live strategies, built the infrastructure, and priced the gap between a > backtest and a filled order. Online, 60 minutes, fifty seats. The Convening is organized by Lime Fintech. It convenes senior quants, systematic traders, independent researchers, and prop-firm operators to take apart a single thesis: what AI-driven tooling actually changed in trading — and what it didn't — and how the quant role is splitting because of it. ## Key facts - **Event:** The Convening - **Host:** Lime Fintech - **Date:** June 29, 2026, 1:00 PM ET (online) - **Length:** 60 minutes - **Format:** Closed, off-the-record, online session - **Access:** By invitation only — fifty seats, no fee - **Who it's for:** Senior quants and systematic traders who've run live strategies; academic and independent researchers; prop-firm operators and pod-shop owners who treat execution as a real cost - **Apply:** Request an invitation at https://limex.com/#request ## The thesis The "$0 hedge fund" conversation — that AI collapses the cost of running a systematic strategy to near zero — is everywhere.
