The conversations happening around banking technology do not begin and end at the U.S. BankTech Summit. That is why we are introducing the Converge Executive Exchange, a new series of free virtual discussions designed to keep financial services leaders connected to the issues shaping their technology strategies throughout the year.
The Converge Executive Exchange brings the same emphasis on candid conversation and practical insight that defines the U.S. BankTech Summit into a focused virtual format.
Each webinar will center on timely questions facing banking and technology leaders, bringing together industry perspectives to examine what is working, where challenges remain, and what financial institutions should be thinking about next.
The first conversation, “Beyond the Hype: Which Banking Technologies Will Actually Deliver ROI in 2027?”, takes place Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM Central Time.
Technology budgets are under increasing pressure to produce measurable results. At the same time, AI and other emerging technologies continue to compete for attention and investment. Financial institution leaders have to determine which technologies are delivering value today and where the next technology dollar should go.
The 30-minute webinar will bring together the perspectives of a CIO, fintech strategist, and AI practitioner around three questions:
- Where are financial institutions seeing measurable technology ROI today?
- Where is AI producing real results, and where is the hype still ahead of reality?
- If you had incremental technology budget for 2027, where would you invest more, and where would you invest less?
The format will include 20 minutes of moderated discussion followed by 10 minutes for audience questions, creating an opportunity to hear different perspectives on the same technology investment decisions.
This is the beginning of something new for the U.S. BankTech Summit community. Through the Converge Executive Exchange, we will continue creating opportunities for banking and technology leaders to hear from their peers, explore relevant industry issues, and stay connected to important conversations throughout the year.
