AIF was born from the needs of our clients and partners. In a world overflowing with data and industry events, selecting the most relevant insights has never been more difficult. That’s why Ailleron created the Ailleron Innovation Forum, a vibrant space for the technology services and solutions industry.

On June 12, with its third edition, it’s bringing together the most influential voices in the financial sector to explore the future of technology, banking, and enjoyable digital experiences.

Third Time’s the Charm: Mastery Through Impact

With each passing year, the Ailleron Innovation Forum organized in the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology, has grown in both size and significance. What began in 2023 as a bold, dialogue-driven gathering of 100 industry professionals has become a flagship event for financial technology leaders across Europe. Just one year later, AIF24 doubled its attendance, expanded its speaker lineup, and elevated the experience with new formats and partnerships.

In 2025, AIF is not just a conference — it’s a community. A cross-industry ecosystem of decision-makers, innovators, and partners shaping the next chapter of financial services and solutions.

Chris Skinner and Probably the Best FinTech Conference

This year’s AIF keynote will be delivered by Chris Skinner, one of the world’s most recognized thought leaders in digital banking and author of bestsellers such as When Money Thinks For You, Digital Human and Doing Digital. A frequent advisor to boards of top-tier banks and a sought-after voice in global forums, Skinner brings a unique perspective on how human behavior and technology intersect in modern finance.

At AIF25 – probably the best FinTech conference of the season – Chris Skinner will take the stage to explore how financial institutions must rethink identity, purpose, and agility — offering a visionary blueprint for the next era of banking.

Four Streams, One Purpose

Alongside the Final Spark with Chris Skinner, the Ailleron Innovation Forum 2025 features four narrative-driven streams, each uncovering how technology is transforming financial institutions — from the inside out.

The Engagement Shift

In a world where immediacy and AI intelligence define customer relationships, this stream explores how banks are rethinking engagement. During this stream, we will focus on how banks are moving from static touchpoints to intuitive, always-on engagement that anticipates customer needs.

Smarter Than Ever

Beyond automation lies intelligence — not only artificial but human. This stream explores how AI, predictive analytics, and organizational design are creating not just smarter systems but smarter institutions. With real-world case studies, we will learn how forward-thinking banks are harnessing AI to support teams, elevate service, and accelerate business outcomes.

Designed for All

Empathy is a new business driver. During this accessibility stream, we will unpack the business case about inclusive design — not as compliance, but as opportunity. From adaptive mobile apps to barrier-free user experiences, learn how financial services are being reimagined to serve everyone, everywhere.

The Autonomous Bank

As financial systems embrace self-operating models and open ecosystems, the question is no longer whether autonomy is possible — but how quickly institutions can adapt. In the end, we will look at process automation, open banking APIs, and the architecture of next-generation digital banks — with real-life examples from banks already leading the way.

Each stream is a story — a well-chosen journey into the next generation of financial services and solutions, backed by thought leaders from global banks, technology providers, and FinTech disruptors.
