Why this forum
Banking Frontier 2026 is a working summit, not a showcase. The value is in
the published programme: who speaks, on what, and on which day.
A published programme
89 sessions run across 5 days in two rooms: Main Stage (Room A · strategy) and Innovation & Implementation (Room B · delivery).
Named contributors
65 speakers from 31 countries are listed on the official roster, each with their own role and organisation.
One subject per day
Each day carries a single theme, from AI and trusted finance through to future-proofing banking for 2027–2030.
Five days, step by step
Each day carries one theme across two rooms. Times are
Central European Time (CET). Three sessions per day are shown here; the full timetable is on the
official site.
