Welcome to Tobacco Dock, London – a premium setting that reflects the seniority of the audience. Glass-fronted theatres and intimate breakout spaces create the right atmosphere for modern conversations and genuine connections.

50 Leading Exhibitors

Meet the innovators redefining banking technology. A relaxed exhibition floor designed for discovery, discussion and interaction. Big enough to matter. Small enough to connect.

Hospitality That Connects

Complimentary food, coffee, and drinks are provided for every attendee, from breakfast through to evening receptions. Each break becomes a shared experience, keeping everyone together and creating natural moments to connect.

After Hours & "One for the Road"

Our After Hours Drinks and Panel brings speakers, sponsors and delegates together for a lively end-of-day discussion. A mix of insights, laughter, and connection over drinks. It’s a relaxed, social setting where barriers drop and the day’s big ideas turn into genuine relationships.

As the event closes, join us for “One for the Road” – a riverside walk and a few stops at local favourites on your way back to the main stations. It’s the perfect way to unwind, reflect and connect.
