About the session
In 2026, RegTech is entering a new era — one driven by a new, divergent RegRisks. 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 the global framework to navigate a firm’s risks, what is working, what’s missing and what could be dramatically improved if we fully embrace the potential of AI, standards, for RegRisk Control.

- Risk and data collection: Basel III/ IV, FRTB, ESG; 2028/9 EU/US data dictionaries and reporting rewrites
- Technology risk management: Op Res, AI, Cyber, TPRM
- Compliance: Horizon scanning, ECB SREP
About the session
Supervisors are under pressure to deliver faster, higher data quality and lower reporting burden while leveraging AI data fabrics at the same time. Across Europe and the UK, collections have grown into hundreds of siloed templates that are hard to integrate and expensive to maintain.
The ECB’s BIRD, DPM 2.0 and IReF work, the PRA’s Future Banking Data initiative and market standards such as CDM and DRR all point toward a common answer. The next reporting backbone has to be built on shared measurements, coherent collections and a semantic model that links statistics, prudential and market data in a consistent way.
This panel brings together supervisors and banks to explore how top-down design, common definitions and model governance can improve both quality and efficiency in 2026. The focus will be on engineering priorities and practical steps, not new forms. What should supervisors ask for, and what can banks realistically build, in the next cycle?

About the session
As Europe prepares for the next phase of Market Integration Package (MIP) reporting reforms and CP25/3 resets the FCA’s agenda in 2026, supervisors and firms face the same problem from different angles. Costs and complexity for 15 billion transaction reports pa have risen, and yet supervisors still struggle to obtain timely, consistent data for effective risk analysis.
This panel will explore MiFIR transaction reporting as a test case for FCA and ESMA’s burden reduction and data strategies. It will examine how a runbook architecture, grounded in the Common Domain Model (CDM) and Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR), can help move from fragmented national regimes to a more coherent, reusable framework.
Rather than treating MiFIR as a divergent ruleset, this session will look at how regulators, market infrastructures and firms can co-design a MiFIR runbook that reduces burden, strengthens convergence and provides a pathway for wider EU reporting reforms.

About the session
Supervisory reporting reform has moved into execution. With the FCA advancing toward MiFIR implementation in 2026, firms and regulators must operate legacy reporting systems, deliver new architectures, and meet rising supervisory expectations at the same time.
This panel focuses on where transition risk concentrates. As old and new regimes run in parallel, data quality, validation logic, and control ownership come under strain. The discussion will examine how shared semantic standards, including CDM, BIRD, IReF and Digital Regulatory Reporting, can stabilise reporting during change through common definitions, reusable logic, and consistent testing.
The session will also explore how lessons from UK MiFIR delivery can inform ESMA’s next phase and support a more integrated EU data strategy across market, prudential, and statistical reporting.
The objective is practical and shared. How do supervisors and firms keep reporting safe, trusted, and usable while the engine is being replaced at altitude?

About the session
Financial crime and market surveillance remain the top regulatory risk vectors globally, and enforcement is intensifying. Regulators are no longer just reviewing suspicious activity reports; they’re feeding them into AI-driven data fabrics to benchmark which firms truly have control and which don’t.
The new standard is about proving that your AI-powered surveillance is not just effective but explainable, privacy-compliant, and aligned with data sovereignty rules. The big RegTech drivers are how well firms meet these AI governance standards and how they maintain record-keeping integrity under MiFID, risk under the EU AI Act, and data privacy under the UK Data Act, and similar frameworks.
In this session, we’ll cut through the complexity of LLMs and Lexicons and discuss how standardized business events, integrated controls, and transparent AI can move firms from reactive compliance to proactive, continuous proof that risk frameworks are working smoothly.

About the session
This panel examines why GenAI’s probabilistic outputs hit a ceiling in regulated finance without a clear regulatory ground truth, and how leading institutions are overcoming that constraint. It will explore how firms meet Data, Cyber, Operational Resilience, Cloud, AI, and emerging technology control obligations with supervisory-grade evidence.
Panellists will discuss how governed regulatory knowledge bases, ontologies, and semantic graphs provide the foundation for agentic AI that can deliver credible impact analysis, regulatory change assessment, and end-to-end lineage.
The discussion will focus on how sovereignty-aware AI models improve traceability, strengthen supervisory confidence, and protect capital as regulators increasingly scrutinise AI and technology governance itself.

About the session
The RegTech landscape is undergoing a fundamental reset. With MiCA, T+1 settlement, DORA, MiFIR reviews, and AI-specific regulations redefining compliance expectations, firms must shift from traditional readiness models to compliance by design—powered by intelligent, adaptive systems.
This 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.

About the session
2025 rulemaking and enforcement ended any hope of the single roadmap envisioned in 2009 by G20 Financial regulatory reformers.
The budget clock is already ticking and this could be the most fragmented and the most expensive RegRisk year yet. Global heat maps align on financial crime and resilience, then split on transparency, governance, and digital assets. At the same time, supervisors are sharpening prudential tools that rarely make headlines.
What does AI-enabled RegTech bring to the risk management party and how can financial institutions and their suppliers produce global control evidence that stands up to local scrutiny?
Regulatory Challenges
- Divergent 2025 rulebooks and enforcement priorities
- Shifting landscape of regulatory consequences
- RegRisk Control pillars: Foresight, Translation, Testing, Evidence, Trust
- RegTech Capabilities: lineage, explainability, real-time dashboards
- New operating models, legal services, consulting and tools
