About this Event
The Future of AI in Financial Services: an FStech Conference
Artificial intelligence in financial services has moved beyond speculation and experimentation to real-world implementation. In 2026, FStech's third annual Future of AI in Financial Services conference will bring together leaders from banking, insurance, investments and regulation to examine how intelligent systems are reshaping financial services and confront what comes next.
This one-day programme balances strategic foresight with operational reality. Expect candid discussions on agentic AI deployment, multi-agent orchestration, model risk and vendor dependencies, real-time fraud defence, and the infrastructure required to run AI at enterprise scale whilst managing cost and sustainability.
Keynotes and panels led by senior practitioners will showcase British innovation alongside global developments. Sessions will examine critical tensions: speed versus safety, autonomy versus control, innovation versus regulatory compliance. Topics span explainability frameworks, systemic risk, adversarial threats, and the implementation reality of the EU AI Act.
Beyond theory, the agenda prioritises execution and accountability. Case studies will reveal what's actually working – and what isn't – detailing the architectures, governance models, and talent strategies behind successful deployments. Dedicated sessions address the mounting questions around AI investment returns, separating genuine value from inflated expectations.
The conference serves decision-makers navigating an increasingly complex landscape. As the AI investment cycle matures and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, clarity matters. Join peers from established institutions, FinTech challengers, technology providers and regulatory bodies for focused networking that cuts through the noise and drives practical collaboration.
