Buy AND Build: The Future of Capital Markets Technology
29 September, 2026
Now in its 3rd year, TradingTech Buy AND Build: The Future of Capital Markets Technology takes place on September 29th at America Square Conference Centre, London.
This year’s event focuses on: The AI Frontier: Buy and Build strategies for Capital Markets. The Summit will explore how AI is shaping the buy-to-build framework and examines buy and build implementations across the trading stack.
The agenda will provide practical guidance on how financial institutions and technology partners can collaborate to modernise and innovate their trading technology platforms. As firms integrate AI and shift from monolithic legacy systems to modern component-based architectures, strong partnerships and collaborations will prove foundational to long-term, sustained success.
Join us to learn from real world case studies of buy and build implementations throughout the trading tech stack and get unique insight into best practice approaches, critical success factors as well as the common pitfalls and mistakes to avoid.
Topics:
- The new buy/build calculus
- Re-imagining the trading experience and the future of the OMS
- AI data readiness – enabling AI at scale
- Engineering productivity: Lessons learned using AI to build software at scale
- The governance frontier: Trust, transparency, standards and compliance
- Low latency: buying hardware and building performance at the edge
If you work in a front office trading tech team then join us to learn how these trends are impacting workflows, performance and shaping decisions around where to invest for future success.
