Open Banker Salon
A new kind of financial policy event
The Open Banker Salon brings our platform’s mission to life: substantive policy debate featuring the most influential voices shaping the future of financial services.
When: June 5, 2026, 9am - 5:30pm
Where: The Aspen Institute, Washington DC
Who: Financial services executives, policymakers, and innovators who are shaping the industry
Speakers
The Open Banker Salon brings together the most influential policy voices shaping the future of financial services, from Capitol Hill policymakers and regulators who are writing the rules of tomorrow to the economists, technologists, and practitioners who are living them every day.
Expect keynotes from senior figures at the intersection of finance and policy, alongside substantive, debate-style panels featuring the experts and analysts who write and think about these issues most deeply. This is not a conference built around 40-minute talking-head panels, our sessions are designed for real intellectual engagement on the topics that matter most to the financial policy community.
Confirmed speakers will be added soon.
Sponsors
The Open Banker Salon offers a rare opportunity to put your brand in front of the executives, policymakers, and innovators who are actively shaping financial policy, not a general conference crowd. This is a room of decision-makers who are here for the ideas, not the swag.
There are a range of sponsorship packages that include event tickets, exclusive attendee discount codes, prominent on-site branding, and sponsorship of Open Banker issues that reach our full subscriber base long after the event ends.
As our inaugural event, the Salon also offers early sponsors a first-mover advantage, the chance to establish your brand as a founding supporter of the platform that's become the home for serious financial policy debate. To request our sponsorship prospectus or discuss how your organization can get involved, contact us at salon@open-banker.com.
Venue
The Aspen Institute | 2300 N St NW #700, Washington, DC 20037
The Open Banker Salon will be held at the Washington, DC headquarters of the Aspen Institute, one of the most prestigious venues for policy debate and intellectual discourse in the country. Founded in 1949, the Aspen Institute has long provided a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues, bringing together thoughtful people with diverse backgrounds and points of view. It is hard to imagine a more fitting home for the kind of substantive, debate-driven conversation that Open Banker is built on.
The Aspen Institute's headquarters serves as a year-round center for convening, collaboration, and leadership. The space is purpose-built for exactly the kind of event we are creating, intimate enough for genuine engagement, sophisticated enough for the audience we are bringing together.
