Banking conferences 2027 in Germany and Europe
A banking conference speaks to the people who run the institution: the balance sheet, the core system, the license and the supervisor. Frankfurt hosts most German dates, since the ECB and the Bundesbank sit there and BaFin has one of its two offices in the city. Europe adds summits for transaction banking and payments. Dated events are in the calendar below.
Banking conferences in Frankfurt
The KPMG Banking Day is a conference for decision-makers in credit institutions, and KPMG may turn away registrations from outside that group. Its program covers tail risks, AI in banking that has to prove its value, transformation projects and operational resilience. Banking Exchange by Payment & Banking brings the German banking and fintech industry together and charges bank staff less than service providers.
The International Financial Standards Conference of Börsen-Zeitung brings regulators, standard setters, auditors and finance leaders together on financial reporting and regulation; Finance Loop was media partner of the 2025 edition. The Frankfurt Quantum Finance Forum at Frankfurt School, with Finance Loop as partner, takes up the risk that quantum computers pose to the cryptography banks use.
AI and technology in banking
AI in banking has become a conference category of its own. fAInance of Sopra Steria and Fraunhofer IAIS is an AI conference for financial institutions, and KI Exchange in Hamburg, also by Payment & Banking, treats AI as infrastructure for banks and fintechs. Both deal with questions a supervised bank has to answer: model risk, the EU AI Act and DORA. AI in banking in Germany covers the subject itself.
Outside Germany, EBAday is the summit for payments and transaction banking executives, run by Finextra with the Euro Banking Association, and Money20/20 Europe in Amsterdam has banking and payments as its two main subjects.
Upcoming banking events
Which banking conferences are set for 2027?
The Crypto Assets Conference (CAC27) takes place on April 7 at Frankfurt School. Money20/20 Europe follows from June 8 to 10 at the RAI in Amsterdam and EBAday on June 15 and 16 at the Roma Convention Center La Nuvola in Rome. The Frankfurt Quantum Finance Forum meets on October 13.
The two November dates in Frankfurt still belong to 2026: Banking Exchange on November 4 and the KPMG Banking Day on November 12, 2026 at the Sankt-Peter-Kirche. Neither organizer has published a 2027 date.
Who attends a banking conference?
Board members and department heads from banks, their auditors and lawyers, the IT and software providers that sell to them, and the supervisors. Some organizers control the mix: KPMG admits decision-makers from credit institutions to its Banking Day, and Payment & Banking prices tickets for bank staff below those for providers.
Are there banking conferences on digital assets?
Yes. The Crypto Assets Conference of Frankfurt School and Deutsche Börse Group is for decision-makers from the German and European financial industry, and the Finance Loop Digital Finance Night brings people from banks, asset managers and market infrastructure together in the same week.
Banking conferences and Finance Loop
Finance Loop is the meeting place for people from banks and the fintechs, IT firms and lawyers who work with them. Finance Loop hosts the Digital Finance Night for banks, asset managers and market infrastructure and lists banking events with its partners on its events page.
Finance Loop is a professional network and has the goal of driving the adoption of emerging technologies in finance, such as AI, digital payments, cloud and blockchain solutions. Finance Loop helps its members build skills and personal networks in these fields: Investment & Digital Assets, Payments & Digital Money, Digital Infrastructure & Sovereignty, and Risk & Compliance.
