Inside the event
The European Women Payments Network (EWPN) Annual Conference 2026 will take place on November 3 in the AI House Amsterdam. This year’s theme: “The New Frontier: Human-Centric AI in the Future of Finance and Payments” focuses on one of the most important conversations in finance today: how we ensure innovation remains #human, #inclusive, and #responsible. What makes this event especially meaningful is the strength of the EWPN community. For years, EWPN has continued to bring relevant topics to the table and create space for important conversations across fintech and payments. This year, we launched a new web platform, welcomed new ambassadors across 10+ countries, and strengthened our executive and advisory board, all thanks to passionate people who volunteer their time and expertise because they truly believe in the mission of EWPN!
