About the Event
The PRONOVEA Banking Summit 2026: Non-Financial Risk Management convenes over 150 banking executives and risk professionals in Vienna for a hybrid conference examining the operational, regulatory, and technological risks facing financial institutions. The two-day programme combines expert-led sessions, case studies, and workshops with networking opportunities for both in-person and online participants.
Non-Financial Risk Topics
The summit addresses the expanding scope of non-financial risk in banking, where operational failures, technology vulnerabilities, and regulatory breaches can carry consequences comparable to traditional credit and market risks. Sessions examine operational resilience frameworks, third-party risk management, and the governance challenges posed by AI adoption in financial services.
Cyber security features prominently, alongside financial crime prevention and fraud detection. The programme also explores geopolitical risk exposure and its implications for banking operations across jurisdictions.
Regulatory and Technology Focus
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) readiness forms a central theme, reflecting the regulatory pressure on European financial institutions to demonstrate robust ICT risk management and incident reporting capabilities. The summit addresses compliance strategies alongside practical implementation considerations.
Technology sessions cover cloud innovation risks, Web3 and blockchain exposure, and digital identity developments under eIDAS 2.0. ESG and climate risk integration into broader risk frameworks receives dedicated attention as institutions work to align sustainability commitments with operational risk practices.
