Shaping the future of payments

Payments are mission critical for the global economy. While digital transformation has revolutionized the industry, unprecedented changes - from AI to programmable payments - are set to reshape the landscape. The need to look ahead and navigate fundamental challenges and opportunities is stronger than ever.

While traditional trade shows and conferences are plentiful, the industry lacks an elite forum with strategic insights and CEO peer-level interaction. Foresight’26 is by invitation only and limited to 100 CEOs, board members and leading investors shaping our industry around the world, creating an unmatched network of global payment leaders.

As former CEO of PPRO and Sage Pay, Simon Black brings 16 years of payments business leadership to Foresight. Drawing on his global network, he created this forum to accelerate innovation and collaboration among the world's payment leaders.

Foresight'26 delivers original, thought-provoking perspectives on the industry's most critical challenges and opportunities, stimulating long-term strategic thinking. Each session features exclusive content, meticulously researched and crafted specifically for a CEO audience, presented here first.

Participants will enjoy a curated experience of the highest quality in central London on February 4-5, 2026. Day One opens with an exclusive evening reception and dinner featuring insights from a renowned speaker. Day Two unfolds in a prestigious venue designed to inspire meaningful dialogue. From networking breakfast through to closing cocktails, every moment is thoughtfully crafted.
