Inside the Sponsor Experience: What to Expect at the NextGen Banking Summit
If you’re building technology for the banking sector — whether in AI, compliance, CX, cybersecurity, or digital infrastructure — there’s one place to be in 2025: The NexGen Banking Summit.
This isn’t your average expo. It’s a highly curated, ROI-driven gathering that puts genuine buyers in direct conversation with innovative tech providers. Here’s precisely what sponsors can expect — and why it’s quickly becoming a must-sponsor event for fintech, RegTech, and enterprise software firms worldwide.
Genuine Buyers, Not Browsers
At most large events, vendors spend their time handing out swag to students and salespeople.
At NexGen, the guest list is tightly curated to include C-suite decision-makers, senior transformation leaders, and budget-holding stakeholders from top-tier banks across the UK, EU, and US.
Expect to meet:
- Heads of Digital Banking
- Chief Risk and Compliance Officers
- CIOs and CTOs
- Innovation Leads from Tier 1–3 banks
- Payments and Lending Transformation Heads
- Customer Experience and Contact Centre Directors
The summit is not open to general registration — every attendee is carefully selected based on their role relevance, region, and buying authority.
What Sponsorship Includes
Whether you’re a Series A startup or a leading tech platform, the experience is built for visibility, credibility, and deal-making.
Every sponsor receives:
- A branded booth or tech showcase area in the main networking lounge
- 1 curated speaking slot (panel or solo, depending on level)
- 1-on-1 meetings with pre-matched buyers based on use-case alignment
- Branding in summit materials, website, and social channels
- Complete post-event contact list of opted-in attendees
- A dedicated success manager to help tailor your presence
For select partners, we also offer:
- Sponsored roundtables with 10–12 senior execs
- VIP dinner hosting opportunities
- Lead-gen content sponsorship across our digital channels pre- and post-event
Sponsor Use Cases & ROI Stories
Here’s how past sponsors saw success (names confidential, results real):
- A chatbot provider closed a 6-figure deal with a UK challenger bank 3 weeks after their live demo at the London summit.
- An onboarding automation startup generated 23 warm leads and secured five follow-up demos with CX heads across Europe.
- A RegTech platform used their panel slot to position around DORA readiness and was approached by 3 Tier-1 banks for PoCs within a month.
It’s not just exposure — it’s targeted business development.
Event Format: Designed for Connection
The summit combines:
- Mainstage keynote sessions from JPMorgan, HSBC, Lloyds, and more
- Topic-led breakout tracks on CX, AI, RegTech, fraud, and infrastructure
- An open networking floor plan with demo zones
- Pre-booked 1-on-1 meetings between sponsors and buyers
- Evening drinks reception for informal networking
Everything is designed to maximise engagement, not overcrowding.
