On 30 Sept 2026, banking and FS leaders from across EMEA gather in London for one mission: turning AI vision into measurable outcomes.

We're delighted to reveal the keynote speakers for our flagship EMEA Summit 2026.

On 30th September 2026, banking and financial services leaders from across EMEA will gather in London for a day focused on one mission: how to turn AI vision into measurable outcomes.

As usual, this not-to-be-missed event goes way beyond the conversation. We're here to deliver results, and our keynote speakers certainly embody this ambition.

We’ll be joined by:

[**Clara Durodié,**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/claradurodie/)** AI Strategist: Risk, Governance & Geopolitics of AI in Financial Services**

If you’re still pondering the question, _"What does AI actually mean for us, right now?"_ Clara will answer with clarity, authority, and zero hype.

A globally recognised technology strategist, Oxford-educated author, EU AI Alliance member, and CEO of Cognitive Finance Group, she’s spent over two decades at the intersection of AI and financial services. Advising the boards of major financial institutions, governments, and think tanks on the strategic, governance, and geopolitical dimensions of AI adoption.

At the Summit, she'll cut through the noise and deliver a clear view of where AI in financial services is actually heading, and how to lead that journey responsibly. At a time when every FI is wrestling with what AI governance really looks like in practice, this is the keynote you can't afford to miss.

If that’s not enough to entice you, then how about…

[**Caspar Berry**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/casparberry/)**, Risk, Decision-Making & Innovation: Lessons from the Poker Table to the Boardroom**

What can a professional poker player teach banking executives about AI and Client Lifecycle Management? Well, more than you might think, actually.

Caspar’s path from Cambridge economist to Hollywood screenwriter to Las Vegas poker professional is a journey defined by strategic thinking. He works with boards and leadership teams, using the lens of high-stakes decision-making to reframe how organisations approach uncertainty, calculated risk, and consequential choice.

In an era when FIs are managing increasingly complex client relationships, onboarding processes, regulation, and AI transformation decisions at scale, the ability to act fast and confidently under pressure is a competitive advantage. Caspar's keynote will decisively challenge how you frame risk and reward.

**Why you really don’t want to miss out**

Our EMEA Summit 2026 is built around two defining themes for financial services in 2026: AI and [Client Lifecycle Management (CLM).](https://www.ncino.com/en-GB/solutions/client-lifecycle-management) [We’re redefining banking with our role-based agentic Digital Partners](https://www.ncino.com/en-GB/solutions/data-ai-analytics), but we’ll also be announcing something significant for CLM at this year's event that you'll want to hear first.

The Summit is set to bring together 350+ senior leaders from 15+ countries, 20+ expert speakers, and Europe's most influential technology partners, all in one day, and in [one iconic venue](https://convene.com/locations/london/155-bishopsgate/).

Don't attend to learn about AI. Attend to lead on outcomes.
