The conferences, festivals and public meetings our readers go to, by month. Each one links to the organiser's own page.
Check the dates before you book. Organisers move them, and we link to the source rather than copying the agenda so that what you read is what they are currently saying. Speakers and programmes are on their sites, kept current by the people running the event.

These run regularly and we expect them again, but the organiser has not published the next date. We are not going to guess one. Each links to the page where they will announce it.
The tenth edition was September 2026. No 2027 date published.
The EU's new AML supervisor. Its first conference was June 2026 and a second is not yet announced.
Where SSM leadership states supervisory priorities to banks directly. Roughly biennial, but do not book on that pattern alone.
The 2026 edition was 21 May in Paris. No 2027 date published. Note the similarly named ESMA Annual Convention is an unrelated body.
186 FIUs, with an observer category for organisations. Not an open-registration conference. Listed so nobody plans around it.
The organiser's own page says only \u201cSummer 2027\u201d, so there is no date to give you yet.
Free and streamed, and the one occasion the FCA takes questions in public. The 2026 meeting was in Edinburgh, not London.
In the FCA's 2026/27 work programme but undated. The 2026 edition was 14 May.
Hong Kong's standing banking conference, run by the Institute of Bankers. The 2027 edition is not announced.
The only annual gathering of the global securities regulator community. Members only, but the host regulator usually runs an open side conference.
Small, senior, and wider than the membership: FIU heads, supervisors, G-SIBs, fintechs and digital asset exchanges. 2027 not announced.
Missing an event, or a date has moved? Tell us and we will check it against the organiser. We do not host slides, photographs or recordings from these events: that material belongs to the speakers and the organisers, and several of them sell access to it. Written notes from people who went are welcome, under their name.
