Our Breakfast Briefings are intimate, senior-level sessions bringing leaders together for focused, peer-led discussion. Each attendee has the opportunity to choose the topic most relevant to them, with discussions centred on three key themes shaping the payments and financial services landscape. At the end of the session, each table shares its key findings, ensuring everyone benefits from the insights and outcomes across all discussions.

• How will the new approach to the development and delivery of the UK's payments infrastructure shape the future of payments?
• How will the new infrastructure approach unlock the benefits of emerging technologies, enable modern digital payment solutions, and still support legacy analogue payment needs - and what will this mean for how payments work for consumers and businesses in the future?
• How can new forms of money, alternative payment instruments, new standards, enhanced data and enhanced real-time settlement capabilities be leveraged to better meet end user needs, strengthen fraud prevention, reduce payment failures, improve reconciliation and optimise settlement across domestic payment flows?
