Corporate Finance Innovation
"Innovation Straight From The Finance Function & The CFO's Perspective."
CFOs, Treasurers, Heads of Tax and finance transformation leaders and every other Finance Director are challenged with turning financial technologies into value adds for their organisations. In a first for FinTech Connect, we are bringing the merchant and retailer perspective to the mainstage. 2026-27 is the time for a new definition on what it means to be part of the finance function.

Payments Innovation
"2026: The Runway for Growth in Payments and Finance Interoperability."
Payments is a cornerstone of the fintech community. If your product depends on managing liquidity, onboarding customers or managing risk at scale, this is the stage for you. Connecting regulatory direction with commercial opportunity and a perspective of payments as critical infrastructure - the real-time payments, embedded finance and B2B payments market is booming.

Financial Security & Compliance
"Fintech's Perennial Challenge Gets Harder - Navigating Regulation, Compliance and Security in an Age of Heightened Speed and Rates of Failure."
A consistent challenge in the FinTech Connect community: the compliance and security burden is accelerating, not slowing down. This track breaks down what new regulation actually means in practice - from DORA and AML reform to policy and AI governance - and how leading institutions are responding. If you need to know how to protect yourself in 2027, this is the track for you.
You will learn

- Where automation is delivering real impact in financial crime and compliance
- How security and financial crime is keeping pace with bad actors
Digital Transformation
"The Determined Path of a Digital Transformation Leader - Institutions Making Change With the Challenge of Legacy."
The leaders delivering transformation inside the EU and UK's largest financial institutions tell us what is actually working, and fintechs demonstrate the possible in a more agile environment. The Digital Transformation Stage is the ground for big ideas and even bigger actions. But with every transformation there is resistance too, making change management and human-centred design essential.
You will learn
- How large institutions are transforming under constraints and how fintechs are innovating without legacy burden

- 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. Whether you are looking to see how Agentic & Generative AI is being leveraged for marketing or want to hear how narrative is changing for 2027, this stage is made by and for leaders in the space. A new stage for FinTech Connect, we're excited to integrate a dynamic, deeply pivotal community to the ecosystem.
