With ten simultaneous stages and an agenda dedicated to artificial intelligence, security, infrastructure, payment methods, and new financial models, choosing what to follow at FEBRABAN TECH 2026 requires planning.
Scheduled for August 24, 25, and 26, the event will be held for the first time at Distrito Anhembi in São Paulo. This edition will feature ten simultaneous stages, workshops, and spaces for podcast recordings. The Febraban Auditorium alone will have six stages operating at the same time.
With the theme “Intelligent Agents, Human Leadership”, the conference places at the center of its agenda an issue that is already part of financial institutions’ decision-making: how to expand the use of artificial intelligence without losing sight of governance, security, responsibility, and human participation.
To help organize the agenda, we selected speakers, panels, and tracks related to discussions with the greatest potential impact on the strategy, technology, and operations of financial institutions.
What to expect from FEBRABAN TECH 2026
Organized by the Brazilian Federation of Banks, FEBRABAN TECH brings together representatives from the financial, technology, sustainability, telecommunications, retail, and other sectors connected to the digital economy.
The 2026 edition will feature 13 content tracks, including artificial intelligence agents, future engineering, digital identity, payment methods, cybersecurity, and sustainable finance. The event is also expanding its structure after welcoming 58,000 visitors in 2025.
Given the extensive agenda, session choices should consider not only the prominence of the guests but also the relationship between each discussion and companies’ priorities. AI governance, security, customer experience, digital assets, and infrastructure modernization are among the topics expected to drive the industry.
