Banking Transformation Summit
The 2026 edition brought together senior leaders from more than 170 banks and building societies for two days at Tobacco Dock, London. Thank you to every delegate, speaker, partner and sponsor who made it what it was. Honest conversations, real case studies, and the kind of connections that move transformation forward long after the doors close.
Director-level decision-makers from more than 170 banks and building societies, in a curated environment where the relationships built were as valuable as the sessions attended.
Six programme themes spanning AI, infrastructure, payments, trust, customer experience, and the future of human and machine leadership, with the decisions banks are making now at the centre of every session.
Real-world case studies from practitioners, grounded in live delivery, genuine challenges, and measurable outcomes.
Premium hospitality throughout, creating the conditions for the kind of candid conversations that do not happen in boardrooms.
Precision networking with Europe's senior banking decision-makers, structured around meeting the right people, not more contacts. The relationships started in May are the ones shaping what comes next.
