Leave legacy behind.
One day with industry leaders modernizing how money moves — agentic AI, stablecoins, instant rails, and the ISO 20022 data underneath it all.
Modernization isn’t a project anymore. It’s the operating model.
The institutions pulling ahead aren’t ripping out their cores and starting over — they’re modernizing progressively: front end first, smart routing next, engines swapped one at a time. That’s how AI, instant rails, and stablecoins get put to work. The ones standing still are the ones clients leave.
Expect candid sessions, working playbooks, and the room where banks, financial institutions, and industry peers come together and compare notes.
Seven shifts shaping
how money moves
The themes we’ll dig into across the day — what’s real, what’s hype, and what belongs on your roadmap next.
Agentic AI, human in the loop
The move from copilots to agents that act — already shipping as repair-and-enrichment agents that suggest the fix and wait for an operator’s yes. Where shadow-mode testing, governance, and optimal routing head next.
The next alternate rail
Where tokenized money lands in cross-border — freeing the trapped nostro/vostro liquidity that funds correspondent banking, and opening real reach to tier-2 and tier-3 banks. Transparent to the payer, transformative underneath.
Beyond speed: the liquidity question
Banks are running RTP® and FedNow® together, not choosing — increasingly FedNow for liquidity, RTP to move the money. What’s left to solve isn’t speed; it’s the confidence to enable send, not just receive.
Translation isn’t transformation
Most banks finished the message translation. The hard phase is the data — structured and hybrid addresses, quality, consumption across siloed systems — because clean ISO 20022 data is what makes AI in payments actually work.
High-value, modernized
The high-value schemes go structured this year — hybrid name-and-address data on Fedwire® and CHIPS® — and they must stay always-on while they do it. Modernizing the most critical flows without breaking them.
Progressive, not rip-and-replace
The realistic path off mainframe and COBOL: modernize in pieces — UX, then smart-routing middleware, then engines one by one — on microservices that plug in alongside what you already run. The CapEx-to-OpEx shift that makes starting now affordable.
Break the batch
Take a 100,000-line payroll file, split it into individual instant payments, and clear in minutes instead of two days — reconstituted so the client never sees the difference. The end of treating batch and instant as separate worlds.

One day. A clearer roadmap.
Playbooks, not hype
Every session is built around what works in practice — clear approaches, honest trade-offs, and lessons drawn from real modernization projects.
The whole network, one room
Banks, market infrastructures, fintechs, and corporate treasuries comparing notes on the same modernization questions you’re facing.
Straight from the builders
