ECSDA Post Trade Conference 2024

19 November 2024

9am – 6pm

Auditorium of the National Bank of Belgium

Event Overview

This year, the ECSDA Conference will take place on Tuesday, 19 November, 09:00 to 18:00 CET at the Auditorium of the Belgian National Bank.

The ECSDA Conference will capitalise upon the achievements of the WFC Meeting organised by ECSDA and CSD Prague in May 2023. It will bring together the CSD ecosystem thought leaders and visionaries, participants and most advanced technological suppliers helping the community in building the European and global financial markets. We will concert the views with the leading European policy-makers and regulators and advise them on the post-trade priorities for building a true single European capital market.
The topics of settlement efficiency and shortening of the settlement cycle, new CMU priorities, FMI interoperability on settlement of Digital Assets and others will be under the attention of the Conference speakers and participants.
ECSDA will also hold a Senior CSD Industry Council the day after the conference.
