HIPTHER launches fintech and banking summit in Warsaw

• HIPTHER launches an inaugural Fintech & Banking Summit in Warsaw.
• The event runs in October 2027, straight after the HIPTHER Warsaw Summit.
• Banking, payments and open finance lead a seven-topic agenda.

HIPTHER has announced the inaugural HIPTHER Fintech & Banking Summit 2027, a new conference for banking and fintech leaders to be held in Warsaw, Poland, in October 2027.

The event will take place immediately after the HIPTHER Warsaw Summit, turning the Polish capital into a two-event conference week.

New Warsaw fixture

The summit is aimed at banking executives, fintech innovators, payment providers, regulators, technology leaders and investors. HIPTHER is targeting delegates from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the Baltics, the Balkans, the D-A-CH region and further afield.

The organiser describes the launch as a significant expansion of its conference portfolio. It says financial services are being reshaped by technology, shifting regulatory requirements and changing business models. That, in its view, makes closer collaboration between banks and fintechs more pressing than ever.

The summit will bring traditional financial institutions together with the businesses changing how money moves, how financial products are delivered and how trust is maintained in an increasingly digital economy.

Seven-topic agenda

HIPTHER has outlined seven areas of industry dialogue for the first edition: banking, fintech, payments, open finance, financial regulation, cyber resilience and regional cooperation.

Those themes span banking transformation, payment infrastructure, regulatory resilience, artificial intelligence and emerging financial technologies. The programme will sit alongside a strong focus on executive-level exchange, high-value networking and commercially relevant connections.

That approach reflects the boutique conference format HIPTHER already runs across its portfolio. Its recent Warsaw Summit agenda paired European regulation with AI, payments and digital identity.

Two events, one week

With the new launch, HIPTHER will run two distinct gatherings in Warsaw during a single conference week. The established HIPTHER Warsaw Summit will keep serving its international community of gaming, technology, compliance and business leaders.

The Fintech & Banking Summit, by contrast, will offer a dedicated environment for financial services professionals. HIPTHER says the back-to-back format lets participants and partners attend both events in one business trip.

The organiser points to Warsaw as a strategic location. As the capital of one of Europe’s largest economies, the city sits between established Western European financial markets and fast-evolving fintech ecosystems in Central, Eastern and Northern Europe.

Fintech push continues

The Warsaw launch follows HIPTHER’s earlier move into financial services with an annual fintech summit in Vilnius, announced in April 2026. The organiser also runs established conferences in Prague, Warsaw and the Baltics, alongside fintech-focused media and digital initiatives.

Earlier this year, its Prague Summit 2026 drew nearly 400 professionals to mark ten years of the event. In June, HIPTHER Baltics 2026 closed a three-city series across Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn with 430 delegates.

Cross-border ambition

HIPTHER says the new summit reflects a broader commitment to specialised industry platforms that combine regional expertise, international perspectives and business opportunities.

Zoltan Tundik, Co-Founder & Head of Business, HIPTHER, said:

“As financial technology and banking continue to converge across Europe, decision-makers need more than standard industry gatherings. They need focused, high-value environments where real collaboration happens.

With the HIPTHER Fintech & Banking Summit, we are building a dedicated platform in Warsaw that connects legacy institutions, technology disruptors, and regulators across CEE, the Baltics, and Western Europe. Our goal is to foster the cross-border dialogue and strategic partnerships that will define the future of European finance.”
