OPENING KEYNOTE 

The Summit Thesis: Why Execution Quality Separates Leaders

Fragmented data, tools and teams slow decisions. The banks pulling ahead are the ones that connect them.

AI + LEADERSHIP 

Would You Design Your Bank This Way Today?

How AI reshapes roles, talent, decision rights and operating models. Opens with the first read of the Summit benchmark survey.

BANKING STRATEGY 

Banking Connected Intelligence: From Fragmentation to Advantage

Banks don’t need more disconnected tools. A forward view of Moody’s investments across growth, lending, risk and finance, tied to the problems raised this morning, just before the breakouts begin.

CAPITAL FORMATION

Is the Bank Still at the Center of Credit?

Capital now comes from banks, private credit, securitization and investors, often together. Who originates, funds, holds the risk and owns the customer?

RISK + FINANCE 

Where Will the Money Come From? The Future of Bank Funding

Deposits are no longer the only foundation. How will banks compete for funding across deposits, wholesale, capital markets, private credit, stablecoins and tokenized money?

ECONOMIC KEYNOTE

ECONOMIC TRACK

The Great Rewiring of the Global Economy

Rates, credit conditions, geopolitics and AI-led productivity, then a live podcast conversation. Closes Day 1 by turning what attendees heard into a view of the cycle ahead.

VISIONARY KEYNOTE 

From Functional Silos to Connected Decision Team

This panel shows how banks are reorganizing roles, governance and talent around faster, connected decisions, and what it takes to move from functional silos toward human + AI teams.

PARTNER KEYNOTE

Connected Intelligence: The New Operating Layer

Moody’s and partners explore how data, intelligence, technology and workflows can come together to create a new operating layer, connecting people, systems and insights to help institutions act faster and with greater context.

CLOSING FORUM

What Bank Are We Building for 2035?

A provocative close on the bank emerging from today’s transformation: how roles and operating models may evolve, where humans and AI will work together, and which capabilities separate leaders from followers. 

Breakout Sessions

GROWTH & MARKETS

From Mandate to Market

As syndication, securitization and private credit blur origination and distribution, bankers and desks need a shared, independent view of credit to win mandates, price risk and make markets.

CREDIT & LENDING

Early Warning and Portfolio Monitoring That Work

Most banks have plenty of warning signals. Learn how leaders separate real indicators from noise, set escalation paths and ownership, and test whether early action works across borrower types.

CAPITAL & BALANCE SHEET

Running the Modern ALCO

Too many ALCOs review results after the fact. See how banks are redesigning the committee to connect rates, earnings, liquidity, capital and credit so trade-offs are visible before decisions are made.

INTELLIGENCE & INTEGRITY

Trusting the Agent

As AI agents move into lending, risk and compliance workflows, the question shifts from “does it work?” to “can we explain and defend it to a regulator?” Extend model risk management to agentic AI.

GROWTH & MARKETS

Private Credit and the Bank: Partner, Lend or Compete?

Banks now lend to private credit funds, partner with managers and compete for the same borrowers at once. Learn to price and monitor fund finance and NAV exposure, and when each strategy makes sense.

CREDIT & LENDING

Agentic Commercial Lending

See how agents coordinate work around a shared deal state, from quoting through the credit memo, while preserving approval milestones, delegated authority and accountable human decisions.

CAPITAL & BALANCE SHEET

Stress Testing: Scenario to Action

Today’s risks, from tariffs and geopolitical shocks to CRE stress and deposit volatility, are more targeted and move faster. Learn how banks turn scenario results into capital and planning decisions.

INTELLIGENCE & INTEGRITY

Beyond KYC: Understanding Relationship Risk

KYC captures a client at one moment, but risk lives in owners, affiliates, counterparties and supply chains. Explore moving from point-in-time checks to ongoing, network-level risk assessment.

GROWTH & MARKETS

The Relationship Manager’s Edge

RMs must grow wallet share without adding complexity, yet client information is scattered. See how banks give RMs one view of risk, profitability, funding and market context in their existing tools.

CREDIT & LENDING

CRE Lending at an Inflection Point

CRE risk is no longer uniform: performance now depends on property type, location and loan structure. Explore how banks are resetting risk appetite, capital allocation and growth segment by segment.

CAPITAL & BALANCE SHEET

One Balance Sheet, One Set of Numbers

Risk and finance often work from different data and timelines. Work through real trade-offs across NIM, liquidity, securities, loan growth and capital using one view of the balance sheet and P&L.

INTELLIGENCE & INTEGRITY

Data Foundations for Decision Intelligence

AI is only as good as the data beneath it. Tackle what stalls scale: data quality, entity resolution, lineage, access and governance, starting with specific use cases and building foundations that serve many.

GROWTH & MARKETS

The Future of Loan Distribution

Syndication, secondary markets and private buyers are reshaping how banks move loans off the balance sheet. Examine how investor demand, pricing and execution speed are changing.

CREDIT & LENDING

Credit Lifecycle Redesign

Both functions face more coverage with the same resources and no slack on control. Compare staffing, workflow, covenant monitoring and AI support, and decide what to automate, standardize and keep human.

CAPITAL & BALANCE SHEET

Allowance in an Uncertain Cycle

Forward-looking allowances swing with every scenario update. See how banks weigh scenarios, apply overlays and explain earnings volatility, using one economic view that auditors and examiners can defend.

INTELLIGENCE & INTEGRITY

The Future of Financial Crime Operations

Fraud, AML, sanctions and cyber teams often run on separate systems. Compare centralized, federated and managed-service models on cost, speed, effectiveness and AI.
