Implementing the UK Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy Summit

The report that HM Treasury’s Wholesale Digital Markets Champion published this week sets out a comprehensive blueprint for implementing the UK Government’s Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy. It covers everything from the tokenisation of existing assets and developing digitally native asset classes to fully digitising the UK’s shareholding system to completing the move to T+1 settlement and to harnessing the power of AI/Smart Data. It reflects an understanding that we are moving to a new paradigm of how financial assets are issued, traded, cleared, and settled.

The 4th Annual AI Regulation Summit 2026

The year 2026 is a critical “turning point” for AI regulation because it marks the transition from theoretical legal framework to active enforcement. While previous years focused on drafting laws, 2026 is when significant global regulations – most notably the EU AI Act – become legally binding for many organisations. For businesses it means the end of the “wait and see” period and the organisations must now learn to navigate the complexities of international AI policies.

Featured Testimonials

“We’ve worked with the C&F team on many conferences relating to accountability, the team here are exceptionally good at organising events. A broad and diverse mix of delegates and that’s of most interest because that’s why people come to conferences; to peer to peer network and talk, you have to have enough people of the right calibre in the room, and that’s what City & Financial do differently to other conference organisers”.

Carl Redfern, Compliance Director, Redland Business Solutions Ltd

“Interesting discussion around Brexit and the implications for the energy sector. I think it’s got a excellent range of speakers from academia, politicians as well as industry speakers, which helps getting that spread”.

“Also if you look at the delegate list, it’s great for networking to see the wide range of delegates from across the UK who are in attendance”.

Lawrence Slade, Chief Executive, Energy UK

“As ever with City week it’s a fantastic gathering of senior people from across the industry talking about the key issues that we need to deal with as practitioners looking at both where the opportunities for the industry are, what the challenges are that we need to meet, but also being able to talk to policy makers, with regulators and with others to share our experiences, our perspectives and our thoughts to look forward to the future”.

Miles Celic, Chief Executive Officer, TheCityUK

“It’s the largest Brexit conference I’ve seen for at least two years, and I think that it’s a very great mix of people; in terms of seniority and in terms of spread and geographically, because it’s not just people from London, some people are coming from outside (London)”.

Jonathan Herbst, Partner and Global Head of Financial Services, Norton Rose Fulbright

“I would like to say a massive thanks @cfconferences for pulling together so many experts for the event yesterday. Felt like the Glastonbury of Conduct with headline acts, great content and sell-out crowd. Plenty of content for us to go away and act on our journey to regain trust”.

Robert Longmuir, Client Governance, Aberdeen Standard Investments

“It’s an honour to attend this year’s Tokenisation Summit. I’d like to congratulate City and Financial Global for bringing us together here today. You’ve produced an exciting agenda and impressive cast list, across both industry and the regulatory communities.”
