Where Australia's Banking Leaders Shape the Next Era of Financial Services
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming every aspect of banking. From next level customer engagement and lending to fraud prevention, cybersecurity and enterprise operations – AI is redefining how financial institutions compete, innovate and create value. The challenge is no longer whether banks should adopt AI – it’s how to scale it responsibly, securely, sustainably and profitably.
On Wednesday, 24 February 2027, 6 Degrees Media will bring together Australia’s most influential banking leaders for an exclusive executive summit exploring how financial services organisations are building the next generation of intelligent banking.
Designed exclusively for senior executives across banking and financial services, 6DAI – the Future of Banking will explore how AI, Data, Digital and Customer Experience (CX) are reshaping the industry, from accelerating AI adoption and unlocking data-driven innovation to transforming customer engagement, digital services and business performance.
Hosted by Adam Spencer, delegates will hear from Australia’s leading banking Chiefs as they share practical insights, real-world use cases and strategies for driving innovation, delivering measurable value and building the bank of the future.
