Pass Options and Pricing Explained
The summit runs 25–27 November 2026 at the Holiday Inn Amsterdam – Arena Towers and offers flexible attendance. All passes are available on the tickets page, each tailored to different needs.
Ultimate Pass – €2,990
Full in-person access to all three days, including morning coffee breaks, lunch, and afternoon refreshments. Delegates receive a comprehensive documentation pack, access to all 44 recorded sessions after the event, and the participants list so you can follow up with contacts. Networking time is built into the agenda with structured sessions designed for executive conversation.
Virtual Pass – €2,490
Complete live-stream access to the entire conference with real-time interaction capabilities. You attend sessions from your office or home, with dedicated virtual networking areas to meet other remote attendees. The package includes the same 44 recorded sessions, documentation pack, and speaker interaction features as the in-person pass, making it a cost-effective option if travel is not feasible.
Speaker Pack – €4,990
Designed for executives who want to present. This includes a 40-minute speaking slot on the main conference programme, full three-day in-person attendance, the documentation pack, participants list, and all meals and networking breaks. Speaking builds your visibility with 350+ senior banking leaders from Europe and beyond.
Exhibitor Pack – €6,990
The most comprehensive offering, combining a dedicated exhibition booth, a 40-minute speaking slot, full in-person attendance, all meals and breaks, and post-event session recordings. This is suited for technology vendors, service providers, and fintech firms looking for maximum visibility and direct access to senior banking decision-makers.
Group Discount – €5,980 for Three Tickets
Ideal if your team or organisation is sending multiple people. This works out to approximately €1,993 per person and includes full in-person access, documentation, recorded sessions, and networking meals for all three attendees. Teams benefit from different perspectives and can divide sessions to cover more ground.
In-Person vs Online: Making Your Decision
Both formats deliver the same expert content, but the experience differs in meaningful ways.
Choose in-person if: You want unstructured networking with banking executives during coffee and lunch breaks; you value the energy and real-time conversation of a live event; you are looking to build lasting relationships in the industry; you are presenting or exhibiting; or you want face-to-face meetings with peers and service providers on the exhibition floor.
Choose online if: Travel time or cost is a barrier; you prefer to join selectively from your office; you have meeting commitments on specific days only (you can dip in and out); you want to avoid hotel and travel expenses; or you are monitoring the summit for your organisation without the full commitment.
Many banking leaders attend in-person specifically for the unscheduled networking time that is difficult to replicate online. Coffee breaks, lunches, and evening receptions are where senior leaders often make their most valuable connections. However, if you attend online, you still receive the same recordings after the event and can engage during live Q&A sessions.
Which Pass for Your Role?
The summit attracts Chief Digital Officers, Chief Innovation Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Chief Information Officers, Chief Product Officers, and Chief Data & AI Officers from major banks, regulators, and fintech companies. The speaker roster includes executives from leading institutions like NatWest, Barclays, ING, BNP Paribas, Commerzbank, and Kuveyt Türk.
For executives attending to learn: The Ultimate Pass or Virtual Pass is appropriate. You attend all sessions, take away recordings, and participate in networking. This suits most attendees.
For thought leaders and vendors: The Speaker Pack or Exhibitor Pack amplifies your presence. Your company gains visibility and credibility through a speaking slot or booth, and you reach the exact audience you are trying to influence.
For teams or organisations: The Group Discount makes sense if three or more people from your bank, consultancy, or tech firm are attending. Each person can specialise in different sessions and bring knowledge back to your organisation.
How to Book Your Ticket
Booking is straightforward and entirely online. Visit the summit tickets page, select your preferred pass type, complete the registration form, and submit it. Payment details and an invoice will follow immediately. The summit takes place 25–27 November 2026, so book early to secure your slot and arrange travel if needed.
Once registered, you will receive:
- Confirmation of your pass and attendance mode (in-person or virtual)
- Agenda and full speaker details
- Logistics information for the venue or virtual platform
- Access to the participants list (allowing you to plan meetings)
- Post-event access to all 44 recorded sessions
Group Discounts and Team Attendance
If your bank or organisation is sending a team, the Group Discount of €5,980 for three people delivers immediate savings. However, the real value is strategic. When a team attends together, you can divide the parallel sessions and share learning across your department or function. One colleague might focus on AI and digital identity; another on payments and open banking; a third on customer experience and product design. On your return, you compile insights across all three tracks.
Each member receives the full package: documentation, the 44 recorded sessions, meal access, and networking participation. After the summit, you all access the same video library, so no one misses the sessions your colleagues attended.
What Attendees Experience at the Summit
The programme combines plenary sessions with parallel breakout tracks, allowing attendees to shape their own agenda. The summit brings together senior banking leaders, regulators, technology experts and innovators to explore artificial intelligence, digital identity, next-generation banking architecture, open finance, payments and platform banking. Sessions blend keynote presentations from industry authorities with case studies from working banking executives—real-world transformation stories, not theory.
The exhibition floor showcases core banking platforms, digital banking software vendors, customer experience tools, and identity and KYC technology providers. This is where many delegates conduct direct vendor conversations and demos.
Daily themes include leadership and strategy, technology and architecture, customer experience and design, payments and embedded finance, and cybersecurity and digital identity. Attendees can follow one thread deeply or hop between themes to explore breadth.
Networking and Relationship Building
One reason senior banking leaders attend is the concentration of decision-makers in one room. With 350+ delegates from financial institutions, regulators, fintech firms, and technology vendors, the likelihood of meeting the right peer or partner is high. PulseCore Events is designed to create premiere conferences and summits at senior level and provides an intimate, interactive forum to learn about the latest techniques and developments in an inspiring environment.
The summit includes structured networking: welcome reception, coffee and lunch breaks, evening receptions, and curated one-on-one meeting programmes between banks and vendors. Virtual attendees also have access to online networking spaces where they can exchange contact details and arrange video calls.
Why Banking Leaders Choose This Summit
The Excellence in Digital Banking 7.0 Summit is an executive banking event because of the senior-level audience, the focus on next-generation topics (AI, digital identity, payments, platform banking), and the practical, case-study-led agenda. Attendees are not there to hear theoretical advice—they come to hear from peers who are actually transforming their institutions and to solve today's challenges: how to modernise core systems, adopt AI responsibly, build digital identity capabilities, and compete with fintechs.
Regulators also attend, giving attendees direct insight into supervision, compliance expectations, and emerging policy around AI and digital finance. This makes the event uniquely valuable for anyone responsible for digital banking strategy, technology modernisation, or customer experience at a bank or fintech firm.
