Banking Risk Management Summit
26-27-28 November 2025 | Holiday Inn Amsterdam - Arena Towers, an IHG Hotel
Banks at a Turning Point: Extended Business Models & Partnerships
Banks are urged to respond to the imperatives of the new era by revising their existing business models towards a progressively “smarter” and more open financial ecosystem. This emerges from the decoding of the actual mid-term and long-term strategic plans of the Incumbents dictating a new operating model until 2030 and beyond. Banks need to quickly adopt a more sustainable and expanding approach geared towards their new role in the market.

Throughout the summit, industry experts will explore pressing issues such as the impact of recent global events, including conflicts and pandemics, on the banking sector. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how banks are rethinking their strategies and adapting to new dynamics to foster growth in challenging environments
