Conference overview:

Following the success of our annual European Exchanges Summit, this event has been introduced to provide further in-depth discussion on the post trade sector at a time when it finds itself in the international spotlight. With the European Commission pushing for mandatory clearing of OTC derivatives, increased bilateral agreements promoting further interoperability and prices falling, there has never been more to discuss. This conference will bring together CCPs, CSDs, exchanges and users to debate the optimum way forward to ensure mutually beneficial developments that lead to a healthy, competitive post-trade sector.
