 1. From Compliance to Intelligence: Making the Case for Network-Level Fraud Detection

Financial crime doesn’t stop at the edge of your institution but detection still largely does. Fraud rings move across banks and borders in real time, while most AML and fraud operations teams are still working with siloed data, manual reviews, and alert queues that grow faster than they can be cleared.
• This session brings together Robert Wisman (Program Lead Process Automation, ABN Amro), Martijn de Ruiter (Head of SEPA Payments, Rabobank), and Marcel Rienties (Chief Product Officer, SurePay) to discuss what it would actually take to shift from reactive detection to proactive network-level intelligence, and what’s standing in the way. 
Where do enriched signals and shared ecosystem data create real lift? Where does the operational complexity outweigh the gain? And who owns the problem when the risk lives between institutions, not inside one?
• The panel will tackle what’s working, what’s not, and where the industry could move to next.

2. Sovereignty in practice: beyond politics and headlines

• Digital sovereignty is no longer theoretical; it directly shapes how payment platforms are built, governed and regulated.
• Treating sovereignty as a binary choice oversimplifies reality — control, dependency, resilience and innovation exist on a spectrum.
• By separating real risks from perceived fears, payment providers gain clarity on where they truly have strategic and operational freedom.

3. Process your transactions 1000× faster: why legacy databases are hitting hard limits

• TigerBeetle is a purpose-built database for payments and accounting, designed to process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second while maintaining strict consistency and crash-safe correctness.

1. Learning to Connect: Our Collective Path to AI Integration

We are learning not just to build with AI, but to connect with it and transforming how systems, organizations, and people interact.
APIs have evolved into ecosystems and new frameworks like MCP, A2A, UCP, and AP2 enable more context-aware, dynamic and intelligent AI integrations.
Emerging connection layers place AI at the center of architectures, interpreting, enriching and linking systems to drive next-generation integration and shared discovery.

2. Stablecoin Strategy for Europe

Convertibility as trust anchor: Stablecoins must be redeemable at par (1:1) through regulated EU institutions to increase confidence in their use.
Foreign stablecoins as opportunity: Capturing foreign stablecoins and converting them into domestic bank deposits can generate new revenues and move deposits from overseas issuers’ to European banks thereby strengthening domestic intermediation.
Overcoming fragmentation: Accepting foreign stablecoins while securing equal treatment for euro stablecoins abroad can unify Europe’s payments market and support global adoption.
Strategic autonomy: A robust euro-denominated stablecoin ecosystem complements the digital euro, reducing reliance on non-European currencies and increasing demand for euro assets.
