Overview

We are pleased to announce the 11th edition of our Data, AI and the Future of Financial Services Summit 2027, the premier gathering for financial leaders navigating the intersection of "smart data", rapid artificial intelligence adoption, shifting regulatory frameworks, and escalating cyber threats, which will be taking place in Central London on 19 January 2027.
