The Banking Scene Brings #TBSCONF26AMS to Amsterdam on 24 March 2026
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 Scene today announced #TBSCONF26AMS, its boutique banking conference in Amsterdam, taking place on 24 March 2026 at the Eye Filmmuseum. The event will welcome around 150 banking and financial services professionals for a full day of content sessions and an evening networking reception.
Building on the theme “Rethinking Relevance”, the conference will challenge banks and financial institutions to re-examine what it means to remain relevant to customers and the wider ecosystem as technology, geopolitics, and customer expectations reshape the industry.
Key discussion threads include:
- Tokenised assets and digital currencies, and how they influence customer perceptions of the role banks play in the ecosystem
- Agentic AI in banking, moving beyond hype to explore what it practically means for banks and their customers
- Navigating complexity, exploring how to help customers keep pace with change
The programme also features insights from best-selling author Peter van Hees, who will share takeaways from his book “AI Agents: They Act, You Orchestrate”, followed by a book signing, with a complimentary copy available for attendees.
“Relevance isn’t a marketing slogan, it’s a moving target,” said Andrew Vorster, Head of Growth at The Banking Scene. “#TBSCONF26AMS is designed to help banking leaders cut through the noise, challenge assumptions, and have candid conversations about what customers will value next, and what banks must do to stay ahead.”
Event logistics: Registration opens at 10:00, content sessions run from 10:30–17:00, followed by a networking reception from 17:00–21:00.
Venue:Eye Filmmuseum, Amsterdam Noord, opposite Amsterdam Central Station.
