AFME's European Financial Integration Conference 2026
Overview
AFME is delighted to announce the return of the European Financial Integration Conference, taking place on 19–20 May 2026 in Frankfurt.
Held in one of Europe’s key financial centres, this prestigious event will bring together top policymakers, industry leaders, and influential figures from the regulatory and business communities for a day and a half of insightful discussions and engaging content.
Against the backdrop of evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical dynamics, and in the context of ongoing efforts to deepen financial integration, this year’s conference will focus on practical steps to accelerate progress towards a more integrated European financial market.
Central to our agenda will be the continued work on the European Savings and Investments Union (SIU) and its role in mobilising private financing to meet Europe’s investment needs. Policymakers and industry experts will explore how to simplify frameworks, strengthen supervisory architecture, and leverage innovation to build deeper, more liquid capital markets. We will also examine the global regulatory perspective and the latest trends shaping market integration.
Key themes include:
- A successful SIU strategy: achievements, priorities, actions
- Delivering on simplification objectives and their relevance for integration
- Leveraging innovation to integrate markets, including the role of DLT and stablecoins
- The supervisory architecture’s contribution to integration, from banking and markets perspectives
- Latest trends in market integration and the macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop
- The global perspective and role of international fora
Join us in Frankfurt for this pivotal conference and be part of shaping the future of European financial integration.
