EUROPE’S FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE & BANKING CONFERENCE
The Next Banking Summit 2026 brings together 200+ executives, CTOs, CPOs, and founders building, regulating Europe's financial infrastructure — in one room, in Berlin, for one focused day.
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 strategic frame. Afternoon masterclasses go deep on Embedded Finance, AML, Platform Sovereignty, Scalable Infrastructure and Agentic Payments. The day closes with the open Campus Festival at HoFT's Backfabrik in Berlin.
Build, buy, partner, or migrate? Learn how banks and fintechs are choosing—and the trade-offs between speed, control, and independence.

Connect with 200+ executives, CTOs, CPOs, and founders building, regulating, and scaling Europe’s financial infrastructure.

Cut through noise and trends. Understand what’s next — and what it means for your roadmap, partnerships, and positioning.
