Now firmly established as a highlight of the FinTech North calendar, the Summit is our flagship two-day gathering that brings the whole of the North’s fintech ecosystem into one room.

Build a working AI agent in an afternoon

 

A half-day, hands-on workshop for compliance and operations teams in financial services. You'll work in a small cross-functional team, choose a real problem from your own work, and build a live AI agent for it using EC360 MCP.

 

You'll leave with first-hand experience of building an agent. You'll also take away practical lessons from every team in the room on where agents add value and what it takes to build one.

 

Run by Encompass, Barclays and Scottish Financial Enterprise.

This online conference will take place from 2–4 November 2026. It is organised by MDPI’s Journal of Risk and Financial Management (JRFM), a peer‑reviewed, open‑access journal covering risk management and all areas of empirical finance, management, and applied financial economics. The primary goal of IOCRF 2026 is to bring together researchers, scholars, and professionals from around the world working across economics and finance. The conference will feature sessions on timely and emerging topics, including: - Generative AI: paradigm shifts in finance and economics - Machine learning for next‑generation risk modelling - Blockchain and digital assets: frontier analytics - Data capitalisation: reconstructing economic valuation - Ethical AI and fintech governance - Emerging technology convergence: the future of financial infrastructure

At Sibos Miami, Encompass hosted a panel with senior leaders from J.P. Morgan, RBC Capital Markets and ING on one of the most pressing questions facing financial institutions: how do you establish trust when AI is acting at machine speed?

 

Building on the panel's insights, the roundtables will explore how leading banks can build trust into agentic AI adoption across know your customer (KYC) processes, underpinned by structured, auditable, and lineage-tracked data.

 

Each session is an exclusive, interactive discussion with senior banking and financial services peers, held under the Chatham House Rule.

 

London: Tuesday 3 November

New York: Thursday 5 November
