Overview
The 2026 ICMA FinTech and Digitalisation Forum returns in 2026 for a full day of insightful discussion on the future of capital markets. The in-person event will look at the ongoing digital transformation of capital markets, including DLT-based bonds, the integration of AI into various parts of the bond workflow, the rise of stablecoins and the importance of data standards for the adoption of new technology and interoperability.
The agenda will feature keynote speeches, in-depth panel discussions, and interactive sessions with senior leaders from across the capital markets — including buy and sell-side firms, technology and data providers, infrastructure operators, SSA issuers, and global regulators.
Admission: This in-person event is free to attend and open exclusively to ICMA members and invited guests. Register now.
