Focused forums for senior financial-services leaders
Shape Finance produces focused, invitation-only events for senior practitioners working through specific operational and technology priorities across financial services. Each programme is shaped through ongoing market research and designed around the right people, relevant questions and practical discussion.
Our current programmes focus on compliance and financial crime, and lending and credit.
Two focused programmes, built around distinct practitioner communities
Shape Finance currently produces two specialist event programmes in London, each designed around a clearly defined senior audience and a focused set of operational and technology priorities.
RegTech Exchange
For senior compliance and financial crime leaders
23 September 2026 · London
RegTech Exchange brings together senior practitioners from banks and financial institutions to examine how technology is being implemented across compliance and financial crime.
LendTech Summit
For senior leaders across lending, credit, product and technology
17 November 2026 · London
LendTech Summit brings together decision-makers from banks and lenders to explore the technology, operating models and implementation priorities shaping modern lending.
Designed around relevance, not scale
We deliberately keep our events focused. The aim is not to maximise attendance, but to bring together the right practitioners, relevant technology partners and well-defined questions in an environment that supports useful discussion.
Research-led agendas
Our programmes are shaped through ongoing conversations with practitioners, helping us focus on the questions teams are actively working through.
Carefully selected audiences
We build around clearly defined senior practitioner communities rather than broad, high-volume attendance.
Practical discussion
Sessions are designed to surface implementation experience, trade-offs and areas of disagreement rather than generic thought leadership.
Relevant technology participation
Technology partners are included selectively, with participation shaped around genuine relevance to the audience and programme.
Built around the right people and the right conversations
Across RegTech Exchange and LendTech Summit, Shape Finance has brought together senior practitioners from banks, lenders and financial institutions alongside a limited number of relevant technology partners.
