HSBC – GCD Conference for Credit and Financial Risk — Kraków
The inaugural HSBC – Global Credit Data (GCD) Conference for Credit and Financial Risk will be held on Thursday, 24 September 2026 at HSBC (ul. Kapelanka 42A), Kraków. The conference will bring together banking practitioners, academics, and public-sector stakeholders to examine emerging priorities and practical developments shaping the future of credit and financial risk.
The programme features confirmed speakers from across industry and academia, including Danfier Rivero (ING) on tail risk in economic capital and stress testing (including ICAAP and the implications of Generative AI), Dr Philippe De Brouwer (HSBC/AGH) on ethical challenges in applying AI within financial services, and Prof. Paweł Przybyłowicz (AGH) on using neural networks to accelerate model calibration in a way that supports strong governance. Additional sessions include Dr hab. Marcin Pitera (HSBC/Jagiellonian University) on coherent risk measurement under FRTB (VaR versus Expected Shortfall), Dr Rafał Pracht (finQbit) on quantum computing for derivative pricing, and Rafał Szepietowski (Citi) on designing stress scenarios in a “poly-crisis” environment, alongside contributions from Global Credit Data, Standard Chartered and UBS.
Across the day, experts will address key market questions, including the milestones required before quantum computing can meaningfully influence production pricing and risk platforms, and how new technologies can strengthen economic capital estimation.
