For a financial-services executive in Asia this is the week the regulators, the incumbents and the capital are all in one building. The HKMA, SFC and Insurance Authority co-organise it, so policy direction on AI in finance, tokenisation and cross-border data comes from the people who will supervise you rather than from a consultant's read-out. The AI and DeepTech and AI in Finance forums give you a fast comparison of what peer banks and insurers have actually put into production, the Deal Floor and Business Matching programme converts 800-plus exhibitors and startups into scheduled meetings instead of a walk-around, and the Shenzhen day is the cheapest way to see the Greater Bay Area's industrial AI supply chain first-hand.

• ★Government-convened rather than commercial: the FSTB, CEDB and InvestHK organise it with the HKMA, SFC and Insurance Authority as co-organisers, so the regulators are on stage rather than in the audience.
• ★Scale - organisers expect more than 45,000 attendees from 120-plus economies, making it Asia's largest fintech gathering by headcount.
• ★Four of the eleven main-conference forums are AI-specific (AI and DeepTech, AI in Finance, China-Global Innovation, AI in GBA), so it now functions as much as an applied-AI conference as a fintech one.
• ★Cross-border by design: the AI in GBA Forum physically relocates to Shenzhen on 4 November, positioning the Greater Bay Area as an industrial-AI corridor rather than a talking point.
• ★A genuinely cheap way in for early-stage companies - a Startup Pass is US$109 against a US$329 general pass, for companies founded 2021 or later with under US$2m revenue and 50 or fewer employees.

Main-conference passes for 2-3 November: General US$329; Startup US$109 (companies founded 2021 or later, under US$2m revenue, 50 or fewer employees); Investor US$799; Executive US$1,699 adding priority check-in, reserved seating and AI in GBA Forum access; Startup Exhibition Package US$2,199 including a 2 sqm Startup Spotlight booth and three passes. The AI in GBA Forum in Shenzhen on 4 November is US$79 including lunch. Complimentary Government Passes are available on request to officials from governments, central banks and multilateral agencies. The early-bird window closed on 31 May 2026.
