Closing keynote

Big-picture themes for 2026

  • Leadership in an age of uncertainty: How senior risk leaders can make confident decisions when volatility itself has become the norm.
  • The technology turning point: What AI and automation mean when risk functions must operate at machine speed but remain accountable.
  • Resilience redefined: Why compliance is no longer enough, and what true resilience looks like under DORA, UK and global regimes.
  • The future of global finance: Liquidity, credit and capital dynamics under pressure, and whether the traditional banking model still holds.
  • Risk culture and the human factor: How CROs can embed accountability, challenge and rapid decision-making under the spotlight of regulators and boards.

The leading festival of risk

It is a great opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the world of risk and connect with colleagues from across the globe.

Connectivity is the most important thing and the fact it's Risk Live Europe, means I get to meet a lot of people that really matter.
Nomura Managing director, global head of risk methodology
It is a brilliant conference—really, really well organised, with ample opportunities for networking and sharing ideas on how to deal with the issues we face on a daily basis.
Banca Mediolanum Chief risk officer
Interesting and important discussions about how all of these different risks in a rapidly changing world are not separate from each other, but interconnected.

What’s new for 2026?

Risk Live Europe keeps pushing the conversation forward and 2026 is no exception. This year’s event introduces sharper formats, deeper roundtables and fresh perspectives to help risk leaders cut through complexity and challenge the status quo.
Investment

Buy-side risk stage

This stage puts asset managers, insurers, hedge funds, and pension funds in the spotlight. Sessions tackle liquidity stress, the surge in private credit, T+1 settlement, and how AI is reshaping the investment stack.
Roundtables

Roundtables that go deeper

Extended, off-the-record roundtables give risk leaders more time for candid exchange. Expect practical debate on the “how” of resilience, stress testing, capital strategy and more.
Leaders discussions

Exclusive leaders day

On June 29 at the InterContinental London - The O2, we are running exclusive invite-only sessions for the Risk Live Leaders' Networks and the Risk.net CRO Network, followed by a drinks reception to kick off the event.
Risk Live Europe discussion

Tailored to your institution's risk structure

Each will have a dedicated stage, and your team can select your preferred risk type using our interactive agenda, ensuring you access the deep, technical insights needed to stay ahead in today’s fast-moving environment.
