Provocative, grounded perspectives from leaders advancing banking’s next chapter across retail, commercial, and enterprise domains.

Deep-Dive Workshops

Hands-on, practitioner-led sessions breaking down real modernization journeys—from AI readiness and data strategy to product agility and customer value. Designed to turn challenges into clear next steps.

Candid Implementation Panels

Panels built around lived experience—not trends. Honest conversations on what worked, what didn’t, and the impact achieved.

Applied Case Studies

Real examples of how banks are simplifying operations, externalizing complexity, and building value-driven offerings at scale.

Topics we’ll cover

Growth Strategies

How leaders are competing for growth through modernization, ecosystem participation, embedded finance, and commercial transformation. Sessions explore where customer value, trust, and modernization converge to create sustainable competitive advantage.

Product & Pricing Innovation

How banks are simplifying product portfolios, strengthening pricing transparency, and accelerating idea-to-launch cycles. Topics include API-first product catalogs, externalized pricing logic, account analysis modernization, and AI-enabled offer design.

AI Strategy & Responsible Adoption

How banks are building AI-ready foundations across architecture, data, and governance. We’ll share real use cases—from fraud to onboarding to conversational agents—showing how trusted AI moves from insight to action at scale.

Loyalty & Customer Value

How loyalty is shifting from card-based rewards to whole customer relationship value. We’ll explore the impact of falling interchange fees, new funding models, subscription intelligence, personalization, and financial wellness—and what it takes to deliver connected experiences that build long-term loyalty and trust.

Modernization & Core Evolution

Practical approaches to modernizing without disruptive core replacement. Learn how banks are externalizing product and pricing, adopting modular architectures, and improving speed, resilience, and transparency across legacy and cloud environments.
