Save the date: UK Finance Connect Summer Conference returns

The UK finance industry will come together this summer as the UK Finance Connect Summer Conference returns to London on Thursday 4 June 2026, bringing together hundreds of senior professionals for a full day of debate, insight and networking.

Starting at 8:30am, the one-day event aims to create space for honest discussion about the challenges and opportunities shaping the finance sector, with a focus on real conversations and practical insight rather than scripted presentations.

Designed for senior professionals across the finance ecosystem, the conference will feature keynote sessions, panel debates and interactive roundtables, alongside dedicated time for attendees to connect and build relationships across the industry.

A day focused on real industry conversations

The Summer Conference is designed to tackle the big issues facing the sector — from macroeconomic pressures and regulatory change to innovation, growth strategies and evolving customer needs.

Attendees can expect a programme built around open discussion and expert insight, including:

Keynote sessions from industry leaders setting the agenda for the year ahead
Panel debates featuring sharp, unscripted conversations on the most pressing industry issues
Roundtable discussions offering smaller group sessions designed to encourage deeper thinking and honest exchange
Networking opportunities throughout the day, allowing attendees to connect with peers, partners and decision-makers

Bringing the industry together

More than 650 senior professionals are expected to attend, representing funders, brokers, technology providers and wider industry stakeholders.

The event will bring together leaders from across four core communities within the sector: Asset Finance, Auto Finance, Equipment Finance, and Receivables Finance.

The conference is designed to move beyond traditional formats, encouraging active participation and collaboration across the room.

Rather than a passive listening experience, the event aims to foster meaningful dialogue and the kind of connections that can only happen in person.

With the industry facing rapid change and increasing demand for innovation, the Summer Conference provides a platform for leaders to share ideas, challenge thinking and explore the future of finance together.
