Who you will meet

The event is expected to bring together Chairs, C-Level Executives and Directors from leading global banks and their key technology and innovation partners. 

Financial crime - Meet top anti-money laundering experts, chief information security officers and cybersecurity leads at top financial institutions.

Climate and ESG - Sustainability and Net Zero forms a critical part of the agenda as bank targets come increasingly under scrutiny. Equally important are social governance and diversity and inclusion heads - expect chief sustainability officers, heads of D&I, and green financing experts.

Technology leaders - The digital transformation only seems to accelerate, and so our Future Stage will be a hub for payments, data, digital, and technology officers from top lenders. Future-looking topics like quantum computing, blockchain, and fintech investments will also attract technologists of all shapes and sizes expanding their offerings in financial services.

Board members - No event brings more banking CEOs and Chairpeople in one place; the same is true for C-level executives sharing insight on multiple developments - from Chief HR officers to Chief Operation Officers.

Regulators and Policymakers - Central bankers, finance ministries and even politicians are critical to the future of the industry, particularly with banking going through its latest crisis of confidence in 2023.
