AI, open finance and fraud set to dominate mortgage technology agenda at MIT Live – Mortgage Strategy
Artificial intelligence (AI), open finance, smart data and emerging fraud threats will take centre stage at this year’s Mortgage Innovation & Technology Live, as the industry gathers to examine how technology is reshaping the mortgage and protection sectors.
The event, taking place on 13 October 2026 at etc. venues, County Hall, London, will bring together mortgage and protection professionals to discuss the technologies, strategies and operational challenges shaping the future of the industry.
A key focus of the programme will be the practical application of artificial intelligence, with sessions examining how AI can move beyond experimentation and deliver measurable business value.
Delegates will be able to explore real-world AI case studies, alongside interactive discussions on the use of AI in mortgage processes and the regulatory safeguards businesses need to consider.
The programme will also examine the emergence of agentic AI and its potential role in financial advice and operational workflows, as firms look at increasingly automated approaches to customer and business processes.
Another major theme will be the development of the connected mortgage journey. Discussions around open finance and data sharing will consider how technology could help reduce friction for customers while changing the way lenders and intermediaries access and use information.
Technology’s impact on protection and underwriting will also feature, with delegates invited to consider how digital tools can improve customer journeys and underwriting outcomes.
Registration for Mortgage Innovation & Technology Live is free. Attendees will also receive a complimentary subscription to Mortgage Strategy magazine as part of their attendance package.
The event will additionally turn its attention to smart data and its potential implications for UK mortgage lending, affordability and access to home ownership.
With the use of AI creating new opportunities as well as new risks, mortgage fraud and deepfakes will form another part of the agenda. The session will explore emerging threats and how artificial intelligence can be used as part of efforts to identify and combat them.
Alongside the programme of case studies and discussions, MIT Live will feature interactive roundtables designed to encourage delegates to exchange ideas and consider how emerging technologies can be applied to practical business challenges.
The event is aimed at professionals at different stages of their technology journey, from firms assessing potential AI applications to businesses already implementing digital transformation strategies.
As mortgage businesses continue to face pressure to improve efficiency, customer experience and decision-making, the event will provide a forum for examining how technology could influence the industry’s next phase.
