SUMMARY:Breakfast in the Boardroom: Marketing Edition
DESCRIPTION:Breakfast in the Boardroom for Marketers: Credibility\, Differentiation & Growth  \nUK payments marketers face the dual challenge of driving growth while earning trust in an increasingly crowded and sceptical space. With new products and solutions flooding the market every day\, marketing must balance education\, clarity and persuasion — often with limited data\, fewer effective channels and very specific regulatory compliance requirements.\nHow can we build trust-led brands\, communicate real value\, and find sustainable growth channels in a privacy-first\, highly competitive environment?  \nThe Breakfast in the Boardroom series are structured networking sessions\, designed around the challenges central to key departments within the payments business. Join us for a networking breakfast\, followed by facilitated discussion with your fellow marketers on:  \n\nMeaningful differentiation: Standing out in a saturated market where messaging often defaults to similar claims and feature-led narratives. \n\n\nCustomer education and credibility: Explaining complex or unfamiliar propositions without overwhelming audiences or oversimplifying value. \n\n\nData & privacy constraints: GDPR\, consent requirements and reduced tracking limiting personalisation\, insight and optimisation. \n\n\nChannel effectiveness: Rising costs\, signal loss and audience fatigue reducing the impact of traditional performance marketing. \n\nVenue:   \nDe Vere Grand Connaught Rooms   \n61-65 Great Queen Street   \nLondon   \nWC2B 5DA  \n  \nDate:   \n26th February 2026 \n  \nAgenda:    \n08.15am Breakfast & registration     \n08.45am Introduction by facilitators   \n09.00am Roundtables    \n10.00am End of event     \n  \nFacilitators: \n \nChris Hooper                                 \nDirector of Corporate Marketing \nVeriff \n  \n \nAlex Sword \nManaging Editor \nFinancial Services Forum \n  \n \nAngela Casucci \nHead of Marketing and PR \nClear Junction

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

SUMMARY:Breakfast in the Boardroom... with marketing professionals
DESCRIPTION:‘Taking a seat at the table’ is a common topic in marketing teams\, often accompanied by justification of budget or resource requirements. This ‘Breakfast in the Boardroom’ event will help change the conversation to take the lead in demonstrating the commercial value that marketing brings as a strategic partner. \nWe’ll tackle the shared challenges found by marketing teams in the payments industry. Data is an important tool but not every element of marketing can be measured in lead conversions. Long sales cycles blur the lines between marketing lead and final sale\, making ROI difficult to track. Heavy regulation can stifle creativity with compliance. Funding is at an all-time low\, and marketing is often the first budget to go. \nJoin us for a morning of networking and structured collaborative discussion with marketing peers\, discussing shared challenges\, experiences and opportunities. We’ll explore: \nInternal challenges  \n\nHow do you drive the view of marketing as a core part of commercial strategy\, and take a leadership role at the boardroom table\nHow do you better foster collaboration between departments (sales and product) for better alignment and impact\nHow does marketing demonstrate the impact it has on the business from a commercial perspective and show value in both measurable and non-measurable ROI\nHow do you go about increasing or sustaining current marketing budget as opposed to seeing it cut\nAnd if budgets are cut – how do you do more with less?\n\nExternal challenges  \n\nHow do you balance creativity with compliance in a heavily regulated industry?\nGen AI – which elements will be short term trends and which are worth investing in? How will Gen AI change marketing teams? What do we need to be careful of?\nContent marketing\, social media and branding – what is working right now and what is not having an impact?\n\nYou have the opportunity to shape the conversation to what would be most valuable to you. We invite you to submit up to three questions in advance\, to be covered by our table moderators on the day. Please submit your questions to kate.mckenzie@thepaymentsassociation.org. \n  \nAgenda:   \n08.15am Breakfast & registration \n08.45am Introduction by facilitators \n09.00am Roundtables \n10.00am End of event \n  \nVenue:   \nDe Vere Grand Connaught Rooms   \n61-65 Great Queen Street   \nLondon   \nWC2B 5DA  \n  \nSpeakers: \n  \n   \n  \nDelegates:  \nKindly note that the event is bespoke to senior marketing professionals\, who specialise in payments and are members of The Payments Association.  Each member company is entitled to one ticket to this event\, and all registrations are subject to final approval. \n  \nOther:  \nChatham House Rules will apply and no reporters are allowed.   \n
