Il Salone dei Pagamenti 2026

Italy's payments industry gathering, in its eleventh edition, promoted by ABI and organised by ABIEventi across three days at Allianz MiCo. This year's theme is "valore umano" — human value — framed around the "Payvolution People".

The scale is the point: the 2025 edition ran to 16,000 attendees, 400 speakers, 92 sessions and workshops, 171 partners and 112 stands, plus 2,000 students. A provisional 2026 programme is published on the site; speakers for this edition had not been announced at the time of listing, and the organiser publishes no daily start time or fee.

Why go: every Italian bank, PSP, scheme and payments startup is in the same building for three days, and the exhibition floor does more business than the stage. Best for fintech founders, payments and product teams, and anyone selling into Italian banking.
