About the event
In 2024, we experimented. In 2025, we piloted. In 2026, the industry is splitting in two: those who successfully scaled AI into their P&L, and those still stuck in the lab. Most banks are staring into a $100M integration gap—trapped between legacy cores and the promise of autonomous finance. They are bleeding time, budget, and talent. The Agentic Banking Mandate 2026 is the bridge. This isn't a conference of "talks"; it is a high-stakes strategy lab for the architects of the future. We’ve cut the fluff and banned the sales pitches to give you the unfiltered truth about what actually scales.
Why Attend
AI has moved beyond pilots. It is now embedded in high-impact banking workflows—from fraud and scam defense to AML triage, credit decisioning, and internal copilots.
But in regulated banking, deployment without controls becomes risk. The winners in 2026 will be institutions that can demonstrate:
- Clear accountability for AI risk
- Governance operating models and evidence trails
- Production monitoring and model oversight
- Measurable business outcomes without control failures
This forum is built to help banks and category partners operationalize exactly that.

Attendance is curated to protect senior peer-to-peer discussion and maintain a high-signal buyer environment.

What Makes This Different
Most fintech and AI events optimize for volume and broad innovation themes. This forum is built for accountability and production outcomes.
1) Proof of Production Showcases
Short, high-signal sessions demonstrating:
- workflow impact (before/after)
- control layer visibility (monitoring, audit trail)
- measurable outcomes (fraud reduction, time saved, lower false positives)
No product pitches. Production evidence only.
2) AI Assurance Council (Closed Door)
A candid working session under Chatham House Rule principles focused on:
- governance expectations
- exam readiness pressure points
- control patterns banks can operationalize
(No selling in-room. Participation by approval.)
3) Curated Introductions
Qualified sponsors and partners can participate in curated introductions aligned to verified buyer roles and active initiatives.

Third-Party AI Risk:
