Global Innovation Institute Conference
Co-hosted with the Association for Financial Markets in Europe, this educational conference will take place at Le Meridien Etoile on the 20-21st September in Paris, France. The event’s theme, Transforming Capital Markets through Technology, alludes to the purpose and focus of this important gathering. This inaugural gathering will bring together over 500 senior executives and their teams who are driving strategic innovation in technology and operations from Europe’s leading financial institutions. The unique feature of this program is its visionary and forward looking agenda focused on what capital markets may look like in 20+ years, which is key for planning strategy in the immediate term.
This will be accomplished with a series of thought-provoking panel discussions featuring very senior level policy makers, technology consultants and industry leading peers. In addition, deep dive interactive breakout sessions will allow for more personal interaction with thought leaders on the implementation of new technology and best practices. Special networking functions throughout the one and a half day event will also allow for attendees to interact in a personal setting with the expert speaker faculty.
Key themes to be covered include:
- Cyber Risk – Building institutional resiliency by ensuring redundancy and recovery procedures are in place. Identifying the emerging risks and appropriate measures to prepare for them.
- Emerging Technologies – Keeping pace with fintech developments and adoption of technology (blockchain, AI and predictive analytics, cloud computing, electronic trading, clearance and settlements).
- Regulation – Ensuring regulatory compliance with emerging frameworks on data protection, cybersecurity, MiFID II. Fostering dialogue between market participants and policy makers.
- Workforce 2.0 – Hiring digital talent and integration with the current workforce. Ensuring your team is up for the new challenges of the digital era.
