2025: The Year of Transformation for the Merchant Payments Ecosystem

Co-located with PAY360, Europe’s largest payments event, Merchant Transact 360 is the new, dedicated conference for merchant payment professionals. On the 25-26th March 2026, the event will welcome 400+ attendees, including 200+ leading merchants, for two days of curated insight, innovation and networking.

Digital transformation was once an abstract term. Today, it shows up in board discussions, investment decisions and day-to-day operational trade-offs — often with long-term consequences for how insurance organisations perform, scale and serve customers.

PAY360 2026, the largest event dedicated to the global payments ecosystem, will take place on 24–25 March 2026 at ExCeL London. Hosted by The Payments Association, the event will bring together more than 6,000 innovators, thought leaders and industry stakeholders to explore the trends, technologies and challenges shaping the future of payments.

The Boutique Banking Conference returns to the Eye Filmmuseum to explore “Rethinking Relevance” in the age of tokenisation, digital currencies, agentic AI and increasing customer complexity.

The banking industry is no longer at a crossroads; it is in the midst of a total architectural shift. As Generative AI moves from boardroom buzzword to operational reality and "Agentic Banking" begins to redefine customer engagement, the need for a collaborative roadmap has never been greater.

The GAIP – InsureTek International Conference & Golden Shield Excellence Awards 2026 successfully concluded in Riyadh, bringing together senior leaders, decision-makers, innovators, and ecosystem partners from across the insurance and InsurTech landscape. The event reaffirmed its position as one of the region’s most influential platforms dedicated to insurance innovation, digital transformation, and industry excellence.
