PROGRAMME
Every session is built around the priorities, challenges, and decisions facing banks and credit unions today.
Explore the topics
Most US bank GenAI investment shows no measurable return. Where productivity is landing, where revenue is moving, and the metrics that survive board, audit, and CFO scrutiny.
Faster payments, AI-era attackers, and third-party concentration are stretching the control environment all at once. This is the risk and controls conversation, not the security one. Where the gaps are opening across compliance, controls, and fraud as money moves in real time, and what risk leaders are funding to keep pace.
Customers judge a bank on the experience, not the product sheet. What leaders are changing across onboarding, servicing, and everyday engagement to win and keep customers, where better journeys are moving the numbers, and where banks are losing people they assumed were loyal.
Where transformation programs lose momentum, what gets them moving again, and what leaders wish they had done differently before blowing it up and starting again. The honest version, from people who have done it.
The data platform program behind real-time and AI capability. The architectural calls that locked in capability, the ones being reversed, and what M&A and data fragmentation cost on the way.
