Get Programme UpdatesDigital Assets & Tokenisation
"Not just regulated infrastructure - the gateway to programmable financial markets."
Tokenisation is moving faster than most institutions expected - shifting from narrative to regulated infrastructure across the UK and Europe. Sandboxes are live. DLT reform is near. The institutions that act now will define the market.
You will learn
- How tokenised securities are being issued, settled and held today
- Infrastructure decisions being made around stablecoins and CBDCs
- How leading institutions are building internal capability to participate
Corporate Finance Innovation
"Finance automation becomes compliance automation."
CFOs, treasurers and finance transformation leaders turning regulatory change into execution. Making Tax Digital begins in April 2026. ViDA is confirmed with phased rollout. The timeline is clear - now it's about delivery.
You will learn
- What these reforms mean in practice for your systems and teams
- How finance leaders are modernising treasury, tax and reporting functions
- How to stay compliant and competitive through the transition
Payments Innovation
"2026: the runway for growth in payments and finance interoperability."
If your product depends on moving money, onboarding customers or managing risk at scale, this stage connects regulatory direction with commercial opportunity. Real-time infrastructure, embedded finance and B2B payments are reshaping the market.
You will learn
- Where the next growth opportunities in payments are emerging
- How real-time rails are changing operations and risk
- How leading teams are building payments into products and customer journeys
Financial Security & Compliance
"Regulation isn't slowing down - the question is who stays ahead of it."
The compliance burden is accelerating, not slowing. This track breaks down what new regulation actually means in practice - from DORA and AML reform to sanctions and AI governance - and how leading institutions are responding.
You will learn
- How firms are operationalising regulation across DORA, AML and sanctions
- Where automation is delivering real impact in financial crime and compliance
- How to build systems that keep pace with regulatory change
Digital Transformation
"Legacy isn't just a technical problem. It's a change management problem."
The CIOs and CTOs delivering transformation inside complex financial institutions share what is actually working. Core migration, cloud strategy, APIs and the organisational reality behind successful change.
You will learn
- How large institutions are modernising core systems today
- How to approach cloud and architecture decisions in regulated environments
- What separates successful transformation from stalled projects
AI in Finance
"Deployment is the hard part. Most financial institutions already know the theory."
Beyond the hype, this is about execution. Built for teams deploying AI in live financial services environments - covering model risk, governance, integration challenges and where real value is already being delivered.
You will learn
- How AI is being used in production environments today
- How to manage model risk and regulatory expectations
- Where institutions are already seeing measurable returns
FinTech Marketing & Growth
"Growth in a sector where trust is the product."
Growth in financial services is fundamentally different. Regulation, trust cycles and market saturation change the playbook. This stage is built for marketers and growth leaders operating within those constraints.
You will learn
- How fintech brands are building trust at scale
- How to execute performance marketing within regulatory limits
- How leading teams are driving acquisition, retention and product adoption
Packed stages. Real conversations.
December 2026 is next.
