Thursday 1st October 2026, London: The FTT Fintech Festival, Future Identity Festival, FTT Mutuals, FTT AI Transformation, FID Fraud & FinCrime and FID IAM return to The Brewery, London, on 9th – 10th November 2026, welcoming an expected 2,500+ attendees from across financial services, technology, and the wider innovation economy for the UK’s largest fintech festival and our biggest Festival gathering yet.
Across two days, senior leaders from government, banks, building societies, credit unions, mutual insurers, fintechs, technology providers and an increasingly important community of non-financial brands will come together to explore the changes on the horizon.
The FTT Fintech Festival highlights include The Festival, FTT Payments and FTT Embedded Finance Stages. Government leaders, alongside senior-level innovators from across financial services, fintech and a fast-growing community of non-financial brands set the scene for two days of high-impact learning and connection.
With payments, embedded finance, digital commerce, lending, AI and customer experience firmly on the agenda, participants will have the opportunity to dig deep into industry drivers and tap into the collaboration bringing it to life.
Three dedicated stages, the Future Identity, FID Fraud & FinCrime, and FID IAM Stages, will explore the future of trusted digital interactions. Discussions will span identity verification, fraud prevention, cyber resilience, agentic AI, customer onboarding, financial crime, authentication, privacy and the role of identity in an increasingly digital economy.
The mutuals community will also be out in force. A majority of the UK’s 42 building societies are already represented, alongside a growing number of mutual organisations from across Europe.
FTT Mutuals brings the sector together to explore the ideas, partnerships, and technologies impacting the future of mutuals. From AI and digital transformation to lending, customer experience, and the evolving needs of members, the programme will tackle the challenges and opportunities facing mutual organisations today.
It is also a chance to connect with fintechs, technology providers and peers across the sector to share experiences and build new relationships along the way.
AI is transforming financial services at an unprecedented pace, and FTT AI Transformation brings together the leaders navigating the next phase of change.
With a strong speaker faculty, growing attendee base and expanding community of partners already confirmed, the event continues to examine how financial institutions can move from experimentation to responsible, scalable AI deployment. The agenda will explore AI’s impact on customer experience, operations, risk, fraud, productivity, regulation and the future of financial services.
The pace of change is relentless. Blink, and the next phase of AI-driven transformation will already be under way.
Technology, networking and experience
Technology partners remain at the heart of the Festival community. Their platforms, infrastructure and expertise help financial institutions and innovators build better products, improve operations and deliver stronger outcomes for customers.
Attendees can meet the organisations supporting the industry on the expo floor, through the leading VIP Hosted Meetings Programme, during regular networking sessions across both days, and at the much-loved Festival Party.
The Festival Experience will again be a defining part of the event. DJ sets and the Craft Beer Bar make a welcome return, alongside an impressive group of community partners, bringing fresh content, new audiences and new ideas to The Brewery.
More announcements on speakers, partners, content and experiences will follow in the coming weeks.
