Overview

AFME’s Annual Operations, Post-Trade, Technology & Innovation conference brings together the industry’s leading voices, to discuss the role of technology in developing and transforming capital markets in Europe, with particular focus on the world of operations and post trade.

OPTIC 2025 will take place in Amsterdam, with a two-day agenda packed with keynote addresses from regulatory authorities, thought-provoking panels and speeches from Europe’s leading financial institutions and technology providers and ample networking opportunities for attendees.

Set against a backdrop of growing cyber risks, rapid technological innovation and regulatory changes, set to transform the way capital markets operate, delegates will receive key insights on the most important innovations happening now, how new technologies and innovations can be implemented at scale and help transform capital markets as well what challenges new technologies may present.

Delegates will hear from practitioners, technologists, and key policymakers. Our expert speakers will discuss the opportunities and challenges that are unique to Europe and contemplate whether the capital markets ecosystem and its underpinning regulatory framework, is well-positioned to support innovation.

Key themes will included the transformation of capital markets towards T+1 settlement and how innovations in data and data analytics – in particularly (generative) AI and DLT – can help enhance efficiency and security of capital markets operations.
