Next Banking Summit

One day in Berlin. Three questions that will define European finance for the next decade. Who controls the financial stack? Where does the BaaS consolidation wave land? What changes when AI stops assisting and starts deciding?

Next Banking Summit

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Next Banking Summit brings together 200+ executives, CTOs, CPOs, and founders building, regulating Europe's financial infrastructure. We'll tackle 3 major shifts: AI moving from assistant to operator, consolidation in BaaS and embedded finance, and the strategic choice between building, partnering, or relying on shared infrastructure.

Morning keynotes set the frame. Afternoon masterclasses — 30 people max — get into the specifics. The day closes with an open campus festival at the Backfabrik.
