European Financial Risk Symposium
Changing with the Times: Navigating Risk and Prospects for Growth
October 2026, London
2025 Highlights
Following the success of the inaugural European Financial Risk Symposium, where leaders gathered for a focused half-day session on the evolving European risk landscape, the European Financial Risk Symposium (EFRS) is growing.
In October 2026, we are expanding to a comprehensive full-day program in London. This evolution reflects the increasing complexity of the financial sector and the need for deeper, more technical engagement between regulators and industry practitioners.
The 2026 agenda goes further than just broad oversight, addressing the key challenges present in today's financial systems. As jurisdictions debate the finalization of Basel 3 and the viability of the FRTB package, EFRS 2026 provides the definitive forum for those tasked with salvaging international standards and fostering market competitiveness.
2026 Highlight Themes
-
Is Basel Broken? Salvaging international standard setting.
-
Leveling the Playing Field: can regulatory reform drive European competitiveness?
-
The Trading Book on "Life Support": A critical evaluation of IMA vs. SA approaches and whether current packages are enough to sustain bank participation.
