Overview
ICMA is delighted to announce that, for the first time, its Secondary Markets Forum and AMIC / Buyside Forum will come together for a joint event, kindly hosted by NatWest Markets, creating a unique platform for dialogue between the buy-side, sell-side, trading venues, policymakers and regulators.
Recognising the growing importance of buy-side perspectives in shaping the future of fixed income markets, the conference has been designed to encourage a broad and active discussion across the secondary bond market and investment community on the key issues influencing secondary markets today, also reflecting the growing importance of buy-side perspectives in shaping the future of fixed income markets.
The programme will explore topics including market liquidity, trading and market structure, artificial intelligence, T+1 settlement, buyside digitalisation and industry trends and the evolving role of non-bank financial institutions, alongside keynote addresses from both senior policymakers and industry leaders.
The day will conclude with a networking reception, offering participants the opportunity to continue discussions with peers from across the international capital markets community.
This in-person event is free to attend for employees of ICMA member firms and the buyside. A fee applies for other market participants.
Registration opens in September 2026.
