Keynote:

Panel: From blueprint to reality – Your strategic roadmap for RegTech implementation

• What are the essential elements that underpin a successful regtech implementation roll out?
• From global to local – How should compliance teams address the differences of managing regulatory divergence across jurisdictions and geographic entities?
• Tackling data integration: What are the strategies for unifying fragmented data landscapes for holistic compliance insights?
• Legacy modernisation: What progress are firms making transitioning from legacy architectures to a modular, cloud native and data centric architecture?
• Buy, build, or hybrid: How is the debate evolving considering the increasing focus on third party risk management and cyber security threats?
• Beyond technology – what are the workforce requirements and how should firms foster a culture of innovation within compliance?

Panel: The end of manual compliance?  How to build, govern and trust an AI driven regulatory change programme

• Beyond horizon scanning – How are firms successfully teaching AI to map new, unstructured regulatory text to their own specific internal controls, policies, and procedures?
• What does a robust governance framework look like for safely using AI models in the regulatory change lifecycle?
• Mapping a fragmented data landscape:  What are the foundational data management steps and strategies needed to create a machine-readable, centralised, and trustworthy library of your firm’s own obligations and controls?
• Evolving role of the compliance officer: What new skills and training are essential for compliance teams to thrive alongside these powerful new tools?

Keynote: Proving true resilience in the post-DORA Era

• From planning to proof: What does demonstrable resilience look like?
• What are the most effective, resource-efficient ways firms are embedding resilience testing into their business-as-usual operations?
• The supply chain front line: How do you manage the resilience of third parties you can’t control?
• How are financial institutions proactively identifying, assessing, and mitigating the full spectrum of evolving internal and external cyber threats?
• What does a successful, integrated technology stack for operational resilience look like, and how will it evolve to handle the next wave of threats?

Panel: Best practices for streamlined and agile regulatory reporting

• Beyond the silos: What does a truly unified data strategy for reporting look like?
•  The ‘no-touch’ report: Is full automation a realistic goal or a costly distraction?
• Agile in practice: How can cloud based SaaS solutions help firms respond to regulatory change in days, not months?
• With a heightened focus on transparency, how are firms developing capabilities to demonstrate end to end data lineage, including integrating automated validation controls, metadata tracking, and proactive data quality management?
• From cost centre to value driver: Can regulatory data be leveraged for business insight?
• The AI opportunity: Where can AI and Machine Learning make the biggest impact in regulatory reporting?

Keynote: Addressing financial crime and AML with RegTech

Panel: The data backbone of defence – powering next generation surveillance

• What does a best practice governance framework for surveillance look like?
  
• Analysing false positives remains a huge operational drain.  How can data management advanced analytics sharpen the focus?
  
• The holistic data challenge: What are the key architectural and data integration strategies for breaking down silos to achieve a unified view across disparate datasets—trades, e-comms, voice?
• Future proofing: How should firms evolve their data management and surveillance infrastructure to manage the incoming data landscape e.g T+1 and new data types e.g. digital assets?
• AI in the trenches: What is the essential groundwork that must be laid before an organisation can realistically expect to achieve a positive ROI on its AI investments in surveillance?
• Demonstrating compliance: how do you build a defensible data story for the Regulator?

Panel: The WhatsApp dilemma: Moving from prohibition to practical surveillance

• Policy vs. reality gap: Is ‘zero tolerance’ an obsolete strategy?
• The privacy paradox: How do you navigate the minefield of GDPR and employee rights?
• Beyond capture: How do you integrate off-channel data into holistic surveillance?
• How are firms successfully deploying AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand the context, sentiment, and intent behind off-channel conversations?
• Evaluating vendor solutions and buy vs. build: What are the critical capabilities to look for and what makes a good technology partner?
• What are the key elements to demonstrate to a Regulator that an off-channel communications programme is ‘reasonable and effective’?
