A host of board directors, chief financial officers and payments and technology heads from Europe's leading banks have confirmed their participation in the conference programme for the fourteenth annual EBAday, taking place this year in Stockholm between the 18th and 19th June.
Up to 1500 of Europe's leading payments experts and over 60 exhibitors are expected to attend the two-day event, which will set out a vision for the future of the European payments industry as new technologies and trends reshape the business.
Curated by the Euro Banking Association’s subject matter experts, the conference features keynotes, two core streams, special interest sessions and fintech start-up pitches from more than 80 spearkers covering:
- Innovation: Exploring positive disruption, risks, opportunities and partnerships
- Infrastructure: Examining real-time, readiness, roadmaps and regulations
- Reinvention: Discussing skills, diversity, education and collaboration.
Reflecting the industry's diverse makeup, the EBAday2019 conference programme is split into two streams, one of which will focus on first-hand practitioner insights into payment trends, with the other investigating new alternative payments and technology.
Proceedings will be opened by Paula da Silva, head of transaction services, SEB, followed by a head-to-head between John Hunter, global head of clearing, JPMorgan and Marc Recker, global head of cash market management at Deutsche Bank, moderated by Oliver Denecker, expert partner, McKinsey.
New additions to EBAday this year are two lunchtime sessions crafted to shine a light on the rising stars of fintech and women in payments.
The top-level seminar programme at EBAday is complemented by a bustling exhibition floor, demonstrating the complete spectrum of payment processing services from leading banks, ACHs, technology vendors and consultancies.
The floor also plays host the Fintech Zone, where 16 top start-ups from across Europe will be showcasing their innovative offerings via a series of pitches and presentations in the Fintech Zone open theatre.
The full agenda is now online, and registration for EBAday 2019 is open.
