SUMMARY:Breakfast in the Boardroom: Product Edition
DESCRIPTION:Creating competitive and innovative products in 2025 is increasingly challenging. Shrinking budgets\, geopolitical instability\, and tighter regulations are placing greater pressure on financial services businesses\, particularly within the UK and European markets.   \nIn this environment\, how can you ensure your products are built to withstand regulatory changes\, geopolitical shifts\, and evolving Gen Z expectations while maintaining profitability and operational resilience?  \nOur Product Breakfast in the Boardroom brings together product leaders and experts for curated roundtable discussions over breakfast – a platform to exchange ideas\, build meaningful connections\, and explore practical solutions.  \nWidening your reach across borders  \n\nHow do you ensure that your product aligns with your firm’s cross-border growth and expansion strategy? \n\n\nWhat are the biggest geopolitical risks impacting your product development decisions today? How has US policy influenced your product pipeline and compliance approach in the UK or EMEA? \n\n\nHow do you navigate diverging regulatory frameworks (UK and EMEA)? How do you ensure you have made this a consideration in your timelines? \n\nSurpassing Gen Z Expectations  \n\nHow do you develop financial products that evolve with Gen Z’s attitudes towards digital banking and embedded finance? \n\n\nHow do Gen Z expectations differ across markets with varying regulatory and cultural contexts? \n\n\nHow are you reaching unbanked and underbanked populations in emerging markets? What design\, data and onboarding considerations ensure your products remain inclusive and accessible? \n\n\nHow is Gen Z shaping your approach to sustainability-linked products and ESG-driven offerings? \n\nCompeting for first place  \n\nWhat emerging technologies (AI-driven personalisation\, blockchain applications\, real-time payments infrastructure\, quantum computing readiness) are shaping your roadmap for the next 12-24 months? \n\n\nHow are banks and fintechs evolving their product portfolios to survive in an increasingly crowded and fragmented ecosystem? Where is the strategic focus today (payments\, lending\, wealth or embedded finance)? \n\n\nHow do you create your product’s unique value proposition in a saturated market? How do you communicate and operationalise that USP internally and externally? \n\n\nHow are you building a scalable and compliant product roadmap while navigating stricter financial regulations (e.g. FCA Consumer Duty\, MiCA)? What operating model adjustments have been critical? \n\nJoin us to engage and collaborate with product experts on creating and developing a financial product in an increasingly difficult business environment.   \n  \nVenue:   \nDe Vere Grand Connaught Rooms   \n61-65 Great Queen Street   \nLondon   \nWC2B 5DA  \n  \nDate:   \n23rd September 2025  \n  \nAgenda:    \n08.15am Breakfast & registration     \n08.45am Introduction by facilitators   \n09.00am Roundtables    \n10.00am End of event     \n  \nFacilitators: \n \n
