Question Time
You ask. They answer. No presentations. No pre-agreed questions. Just an unscripted, audience-led debate tackling the biggest issues facing Open Banking, Open Finance, Payments and Smart Data. Bring your questions and put them directly to the people shaping what happens next.
Regulator Day
Ahead of Open Banking Expo, Regulator Day brings regulators, policymakers and industry leaders together for focused, high-value discussion on the future of Open Banking, Open Finance and Smart Data. Expect direct insight, honest dialogue and the opportunity to engage with those shaping the regulatory landscape.
Powerhouse debates
This is where the big conversations happen. Expect senior leaders to challenge, debate and unpack the topics that matter most, with honest views, differing opinions and zero rehearsed answers.
Regulatory insight
With the Data (Use and Access) Act now in force and the UK and European regulatory landscape continuing to evolve, hear directly from the regulators and policymakers shaping what comes next, and what it means for your business.
The Engine Room
Where the industry’s conversations come to life. Watch live podcast recordings throughout the Expo as industry leaders tackle the issues shaping the market in a more candid format. Or take the mic yourself: apply for a 30-minute recording slot to host your own podcast with your own guest or guests.
Chatham House roundtables
Step away from the main stages for focused, closed-door conversations under the Chatham House Rule. Join peers tackling the same challenges, share perspectives openly and leave with practical ideas you can put into action.
Live Lounge
Step into the Live Lounge for candid, on-the-ground conversations with industry leaders, partners and innovators. These fast-paced interviews capture real perspectives, real challenges and real opportunities, live from the Expo floor.
Open Banking Expo Awards
Join the industry on Day 1 as we recognise the companies delivering real impact across Open Banking, Open Finance and Open Banking-powered payments. This is the night the industry comes together to celebrate progress and set the standard.
After hours
When the sessions end, the conversations continue. Join us on Day 2 on the Expo floor for an evening of networking, drinks and a chance to connect in a more relaxed setting.
