Overview
The annual Sibos conference, organized by Swift, brings together thousands of leaders and innovators from the global financial sector. For the first time, the Sibos community will meet in Miami Beach from September 28–October 1, 2026, guided by the theme “Digital finance for AI-driven economies.”
Across more than 250 sessions featuring over 500 speakers, senior leaders, policymakers, technology experts, and innovators will examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping global finance. Discussions will span payments, securities and foreign exchange, trade, digital assets, regulation, climate finance, and resilience, with a focus on building the trust, interoperability, and infrastructure needed to turn innovation into practical value.
We are excited to have two speaking opportunities to share our perspectives on the strategic, operational, and regulatory choices financial institutions face as they scale AI, modernize financial infrastructure, and navigate a faster-moving digital economy.
