FS 2030: Reimagining the Future of Financial Services

The Burness Paull Financial Services Conference is taking place on Thursday 12 November 2026 in our Edinburgh office, and we'd love to see you there.

Financial services is entering a new era, one in which technology will increasingly act on behalf of customers, markets and firms. AI, digital assets, evolving regulation and new market infrastructure are already beginning to reshape how financial services businesses operate, compete and grow. The firms that succeed by 2030 will be those that understand these shifts early and position themselves accordingly.

At this year's conference, we'll bring together industry leaders, innovators and regulators to explore what the sector could look like by 2030, and the decisions firms should be making today to prepare for that future.

As the industry looks ahead to a period of significant technological, regulatory and market change, this event will provide perspectives and practical insight into the opportunities and challenges likely to shape the next decade of financial services.

Through keynote sessions, fireside discussions, and expert panels, we’ll explore:

• Lessons from scaling financial services businesses through growth, investment and innovation
• The autonomous customer and the impact of AI acting on behalf of individuals and businesses
• How regulation can support innovation while protecting consumers
• Tokenisation, digital assets and the next generation of financial market infrastructure
• The future of financial services and what will matter most by 2030
• The key opportunities and challenges shaping Scotland’s financial services sector

The day will close with reflections and key takeaways, followed by networking drinks.

This event is designed for senior decision-makers across the financial services sector, including board members, C-suite executives, general counsel, founders, regulators, risk and compliance leaders, and those responsible for shaping strategy, innovation and growth within their organisations.
