The Global Banking Summit will examine the forces reshaping global finance in 2027 and beyond, from macroeconomic volatility and geopolitical fragmentation to rapid technological change. How should leaders respond to uneven growth, diverging monetary policies and a more contested global order? What are the implications of renewed trade tensions, shifting regulatory priorities and sustained pressure on profitability as interest rates fall? And as AI and digital infrastructure become central to competition, how will these technologies alter risk, resilience and the economics of banking?

The Summit returns with its signature multitrack format, bringing together senior figures from global, retail and investment institutions alongside policymakers, economists and business strategists. Through CEO interviews, policy discussions and focused sessions on performance, technology and organisational change, the programme will explore the choices facing institutions as they adapt to a more uncertain environment.

Join us for three days of analysis, discussion and connection, convening banking leaders, investors, technologists and financial services practitioners to consider the next phase of global finance.
