About the session

As we look ahead to 2026, RegTech is entering a new era — one powered by AI and driven by the urgent need for smarter, faster, and more resilient approaches to compliance. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and intelligent automation is opening new pathways for implementing regulatory reforms not just more efficiently — but more effectively and safely.

PJ Di Giammarino, Founder and CEO of RegRisk Legal Solutions, will offer a global perspective on where the RegTech opportunity stands today. What’s working? What’s missing? And what could be dramatically improved if we fully embrace the potential of AI, standards, and strategic collaboration?

About the session

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, this panel will unpack expectations emerging from new assessment frameworks such as the ECB’s updated SREP, BCBS 239, and evolving data strategies across the US, EU, and UK.

Experts will explore the growing impact of regulatory returns on capital buffer assessments—and what that means for data infrastructure, operational design, and Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR) strategies.

With the horizon already set on initiatives like MiFID II.5, IReF, and BIRD, this session will offer forward-looking insights into how firms can build adaptable, high-quality data ecosystems that not only meet today’s regulatory demands but are also future-proofed for the evolving compliance landscape.

About the session

As the industry prepares for MiFID II.5’s 2026 transaction reporting go-live, this panel takes a forward-looking view on how hard-won lessons from new trade reporting regimes can be transformed into strategic advantage.

With Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR) gaining momentum, panelists will explore how standards – such as the Common Domain Model (CDM) – enable firms to overcome long-standing challenges, including fragmented UK/EU requirements and legacy infrastructure.

Rather than seeing the 60+ new transaction reporting fields as a compliance burden, this session will reframe them as a catalyst for shifting from reactive remediation to proactive assurance. Can DRR unlock more accurate, consistent, and future-resilient transaction reporting?

About the session

The question isn’t whether digital assets will transform finance – but whether we can secure and scale DeFi for a regulated, institutional world.

This panel explores how financial institutions are navigating the operational challenges of digital asset integration, from fragmented global regulation and legacy infrastructure to heightened cyber risk. With frameworks like DORA raising the bar for operational resilience, and standards such as the Common Domain Model (CDM), LEI, and DTI laying the groundwork for interoperability, the road ahead requires more than innovation – it requires control, compliance, and robust operational design.

Panelists will explore how RegTech, tokenisation, and secure integration strategies are transforming risk management, compliance, and settlement in a world where DeFi meets TradFi.

About the session

As we look ahead to 2026, the pressure is mounting on financial institutions to redefine how they monitor, manage, and prove holistic AML and Surveillance conduct controls.

With enforcement actions escalating this panel will explore how firms are preparing for a new era of oversight, where communications surveillance must span dynamic work environments, encrypted messaging platforms, and increasingly sophisticated trade behaviors. Panellists will unpack how standardised business events, integrated risk models, and AI-powered surveillance can help detect misconduct across fragmented data and communication channels — without compromising AML, privacy or ethical standards.

From real-time detection to proactive prevention, and from regulatory readiness to reputational resilience, this session will navigate the path for “effective AML and market abuse surveillance” in a digitally complex, AI-regulated world — and are firms ready to meet that benchmark?

About the session

The EU and UK’s move to T+1 settlement by October 2027 could be a defining moment for RegTech. To meet the compressed timelines and operational demands, firms must move beyond manual, human-dependent processes – lessons already learned through the costly U.S. transition. The road ahead requires automation, interoperability, and intelligent tooling at scale.

RegTech can rise to the challenge through a powerful combination of AI-driven automation and industry-wide data standards – including the Common Domain Model (CDM). From trade allocation and confirmation to SSI management and settlement matching, panelists will examine how intelligent solutions can ensure compliance at pace.

 Is this the moment for standards to shine —and for RegTech to redefine the future of post-trade?

About the session

With DORA and its global counterparts setting a new operational resilience standard, the financial sector is under mounting pressure to fortify every layer of its digital ecosystem – including an estimated 40,000 suppliers. The challenge isn’t just scale – it’s achieving clarity, coordination, and control across a sprawling, complex environment. Enter agentic AI.

This panel explores how financial institutions are turning to next-gen AI technologies to make the impossible, possible. From mapping regulatory obligations to streamlining policy reviews and identifying supply chain risks, AI is pushing compliance from reactive to proactive, from fragmented to unified.

As the regulatory spotlight shifts toward AI governance itself, panelists will examine how firms secure the “seaworthiness” of the financial sector amid accelerating digital risk?

About the session

As 2026 approaches, the RegTech landscape is undergoing a fundamental reset. With MiCA, T+1 settlement, DORA, MiFID II.5, and AI-specific regulations redefining compliance expectations, firms must shift from traditional readiness models to compliance by design—powered by intelligent, adaptive systems.

This closing panel will bring together industry leaders to identify the strategic priorities driving RegTech through 2026. What role will AI play in automating surveillance, gap detection, and regulatory change management? How can financial institutions align operational resilience, intelligent tooling, and supply chain oversight across global jurisdictions?

Framed by a spirit of collaboration between regulators, financial institutions, and technology providers, this session will distill the day’s key insights into a unified outlook – and deliver a blueprint for embracing the next era of digital compliance, where agility, intelligence, and trust converge.
