VBA 2026: banking automation forum

About the event

The 13th international VBA 2026 All Banking Automation forum was announced for 20–21 October 2026 in Moscow. The official page specifies an in-person format, Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel and the address 2 Eurasia Square. The forum combines a business programme with an exhibition of solutions for banks and financial organisations. Its published description positions it as a setting for professional discussion of automation in banking and financial processes.

The agenda covers IT infrastructure, automation of banking processes, payment systems, information security, artificial intelligence and digital transformation. Together these subjects span connected layers of a financial organisation’s work: core IT systems, service and payment processes, information protection and the development of digital capabilities. Visitors could select discussions relevant to their responsibilities, from infrastructure and integration to security or customer services.

The business programme is described as thematic conferences, panels and round tables. These formats allow topics to be approached from more than one angle: conference sessions introduce subject areas, while discussion formats give participants a way to compare professional perspectives. The published description also highlights process efficiency, system reliability and the development of financial technologies. This connects strategic questions for banks with the work of IT and digital teams.

The exhibition is part of the forum and focuses on solutions for banks and financial organisations. It complements the sessions by presenting supplier offerings. For a visitor, it forms a separate line of the professional programme: identify the organisation’s needs, select relevant discussions, then spend time with suppliers whose offerings relate to those needs. The source describes the exhibition as a forum component, not a separate event.

Information security, cybersecurity and digital transformation connect to reliability and the development of financial services in the forum agenda. Security specialists could focus on data and system protection; digital leaders on service and process change; IT teams on infrastructure, integration and automation. These are the subjects named by the organisers, allowing visitors to navigate by professional role without assuming that the page specifies particular technical solutions.

The contacts page names Andrey Burdinsky as chair of the organising committee and Gleb Veselov as exhibition director. These are distinct published roles in the forum’s organisation: committee work and the exhibition stream. When contacting the event team, a visitor can match a question to the stated role; these names are not added to the speaker list and do not alter the company categories in the VBA 2026 roster.

The About page names iFin Media as organiser and describes the Association of Russian Banks as supporting the forum. On the homepage, both appear under the heading Organisers. The site therefore uses different labels for the Association’s role. This distinction concerns the published organisational wording; it does not change the separately labelled sponsor, partner and participant categories in the VBA 2026 directory.

The forum was announced as an in-person event at Radisson Slavyanskaya, 2 Eurasia Square, Moscow. The organising committee’s office address on Mosfilmovskaya Street is not the forum venue. The description retains the hotel and Eurasia Square as the event location and does not substitute the office contact address. Since the dates have passed, the text records the published schedule and announcement without claiming that the event or individual sessions actually took place.
