About the Event
SwitchPitch Summit is an invite-only, in-person gathering of enterprise innovation, strategy, and ecosystem leaders for a focused day of practical learning, candid conversation, and meaningful connections.
Hosted at BNY’s headquarters in New York City, the Summit is designed to be intimate and highly interactive, with experienced operators sharing what is actually working inside large organizations today. Expect tactical sessions, peer discussions, and real examples you can take back and apply immediately.

You’ll also see how leading teams are using SwitchPitch to streamline sourcing, diligence, and ecosystem management, and where the platform is creating measurable impact across their programs.
Whether you’re looking for fresh ideas, practical tools, or honest conversations with peers facing the same challenges, SwitchPitch Summit is built to deliver tangible takeaways, not just theory.
