This year’s APS Bank’s Senior Management Offsite explored what it takes to stay ahead in a changing banking landscape. Held from Sunday 11 to Tuesday 13 October 2026, at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, Gozo, the event brought together Chief Officers, Heads and other members of Management.
Under the theme The Changing Face of Competition, participants explored shifting customer expectations, technology and the challenge of attracting and retaining talent. With insights from EY speakers George Tziortzis and Antonis Rouvas, discussions focused on keeping APS Bank relevant in an increasingly competitive market.
The Offsite also challenged participants to think outside the box through a Shark Tank-style exercise. Teams were tasked with either developing a strategy to disrupt APS Bank or imagining the decisions that would make it a benchmark for modern banking by 2035.
The exercise rounded off three days of discussions, encouraging participants to challenge familiar thinking and look at the Bank’s future from a different perspective.
