The 26th RegTech Convention: Transformation & Agility

The RegTech Convention is a 2-day conference that has been hosted by BearingPoint since 1993. Today, the event is one of the largest conferences on regulation and RegTech in Europe with around 700 participants from 30 countries. Participants include representatives of the European banking sector, international financial institutions, insurance companies, regulators and central banks. This year’s RegTech Convention will take place on November 26-27, 2019 at the congress center Kap Europa in Frankfurt.

The motto of the 26th RegTech Convention 2019 is “Transformation & Agility”. Not least the technological innovations of recent years have initiated a transformation process in the financial industry. Together with representatives of banks and supervisory authorities at the opening conference on November 26th, we will discuss the opportunities and risks of this transformation and how the future will look. What impact will transformation have on banks’ business, on supervision, and on collaboration models? Will the new technological possibilities make us more agile and able to act? How do we need to adapt? Are there such things as an “ideal financial regulation” and a “best practice” for the implementation of regulatory requirements? To what extent are agile concepts viable in regulation?

At the banking conference we expect keynotes from supervisory authorities and panel discussions on current regulations and standards. The focus is also on technological topics such as data integration, outsourcing and blockchain. At the parallel topic-specific conferences and in the breakout sessions we will discuss the current developments in RegTech, RiskTech and SupTech.
