Event Highlights: Banking Transformation Summit & Champagne Sunset Sail (video)

Date:July 10, 2024

Last month, we had the privilege of attending the Banking Transformation Summit (BTS), Europe’s leading conference for banks and technology professionals. This event is an important part of the financial services calendar as it focusses on supporting senior representatives from the industry on their transformation journeys in order to help shape the future of banking.  

We were delighted to not only attend but also sponsor the event as Gold partners, which included hosting the official conference drinks reception followed by our very own Champagne Sunset Sail in partnership with MagicOrange. We were delighted to welcome over 200 guests to enjoy an evening of networking, food and drinks as we cruised down the River Thames in the summer sunshine. Check out the video below to see the event in action! 

In case you missed it, we have also captured the key themes from this year’s conference below. If you would like to speak to our experts about any of these topics, please get in touch with us here

Artificial Intelligence 

AI is undoubtedly having a rapidly growing impact on the financial services industry, so it comes as no surprise that it was a key discussion point at BTS. In particular, speakers explored its applicability to banking, wealth management and insurance with examples of tried and tested use cases. 

With first-hand experience in embedding AI within financial services organisations, we understand the importance of maximising its benefits whilst minimising its risks. We have the crucial blend of business intelligence on how to apply AI and the technical expertise to deliver the latest solutions, making us a trusted partner for AI initiatives.

ESG 

On this year’s BTS agenda, there were numerous connection points to the hottest topics in the market on ESG. The primary focus centred on how financial services firms can pragmatically address the legislative onslaught in this space, with the CSRD and many more looming large on the horizon.

With multiple double materiality assessments either underway or now complete, organisations will be wondering if their findings are both holistic and aligned to their peers. Our recent market benchmarking analysis reveals the materiality priorities of 150 of the world’s largest banks, insurers, law firms and asset managers. 

Project Management Office (PMO) 

In banking and beyond, communication, coordination, and control regularly use up a lot of time and resources. As highlighted at the conference, having a PMO in place can help tackle this by bringing strategic alignment, enhanced governance and risk management, and improved resource allocation and efficiency.
