The 2027 Content Theme and Pillars

Meet our 2027 Content Theme: Control is Changing Hands

As AI transforms decision-making and Europe rethinks sovereignty across payments, infrastructure, data and digital assets, the industry is facing a fundamental question: who gets to build, move, manage and govern money?

These shifts come to life across five content pillars:

  • The Tokenised Economy
  • Building Future Foundations
  • Banking, Reimagined
  • New Rails, New Rules
  • The Changing Trust Equation
Discover our 2027 Content Pillars

What makes a great submission?

We want sessions that make people stop, think and see something differently. Give us a clear point of view, an unexpected insight or an honest account of what happened when theory met reality. Tell us why the question matters now, and what someone in the audience will walk away knowing.

  • Lead with the idea: Our Content Pillars are the starting point, not the session. Show us the question, tension or argument you want to explore.

  • Bring something new: Original research, a partnership, case study or a lesson from the front line, maybe a difficult trade-off, a meaningful disagreement or even breaking news the industry hasn’t heard before.

  • Choose people with something to say: First-hand experience, expertise and distinctive perspectives matter more than job title alone.

  • Keep it editorial: Avoid product pitches, corporate presentations disguised as thought leadership and panels where everyone agrees.

Think less: ‘How AI is Transforming Lending’

Think more: ‘We Let AI Make Lending Decisions. Here’s What Failed’

Milestone

What happens?

1. Submit your idea (November 2026)

Apply during the 2-27 November 2026 submission window. Each submission should be a fully developed session with a title, description and speakers who have been informed, not just a list of prospective names or buzzwords.

2. Our team reviews it (December-January 2027)

We assess the originality of the idea, its audience value, editorial relevance, suitability of the format and strength of the proposed speakers.

3. Hear back (February 2027)

All applicants will receive an outcome, we aim to get back to you by the end of February 2027. For selected ideas, we may suggest adjustments to the angle, format or lineup.

4. Get ready for Amsterdam!

Our speaker operations team will guide successful applicants through the next steps, including session planning and event logistics. Selection of a session does not mean that every proposed speaker, title or format has automatically been approved. The content team has final editorial approval of the programme.
