Defining the Future: Strategic Pillars for Banking Infrastructure - February 13, 2025 - Amsterdam

We would be delighted to welcome you to an exclusive executive dinner at the prestigious Koninklijke Groote Industrieele Club in Amsterdam in collaboration with our partner Equinix. The setting - a place steeped in history and tradition - serves as the perfect backdrop for a forward-looking conversation about the strategic foundations of modern banking.

In an era where digital transformation is reshaping every aspect of financial services, banks face a unique challenge:

"How to modernise core infrastructure while maintaining the resilience and trust that customers and regulators demand?"

From navigating the balance between legacy systems and cloud adoption to aligning with evolving regulatory frameworks like DORA, the path forward is complex but filled with opportunity.

This evening’s discussion will focus on the strategic pillars that will define the future of core banking infrastructure. Together, we’ll explore:

• How to strike the right balance between scale, innovation, and flexibility, ensuring systems are both robust and adaptable.
• The role of risk management and third-party providers, especially in a world where outsourcing is increasingly common.
• Leveraging API ecosystems and data science to unlock value, while safeguarding against the ever-growing threat of cybercrime.
• The supervisory perspective: how to innovate within the boundaries of compliance and regulatory expectations.

The goal of the evening is not to define a single solution but to provide a platform for thought leaders to exchange ideas, share insights, and collaborate on approaches that will empower banks to navigate their unique journeys.

By attending, you will:

• Challenge assumptions and refine your thinking in a collaborative environment.
• Gain unique insights into the problems, opportunities and benefits of infrastructure modernisation.
• Exchange ideas with fellow forward-thinking industry leaders.

We look forward to an engaging and insightful conversation as we explore the strategic choices that will shape the resilient, innovative, and customer-centric banks of tomorrow.
