Tech Events by UK Finance

One-day interactive workshop on developments and techniques in third-party risk management for financial services, relevant to vendor, cloud and technology supply-chain risk. Time, venue and price were not published on the schedule listing at time of writing.

UK Finance's annual conference on tokenised markets and digital money, subtitled debt, disruption and digital. The agenda is the institutional end of the subject: tokenised debt issuance, settlement, and what digital money means for banks that have to implement it rather than theorise about it. It is run by the trade body that speaks for the UK banking sector, at its own building at 1 Angel Court in the City. Paid; the ticket price was not published on the registration page, so check before booking. Starts 09:30. Why go: the most institution-facing event of the autumn on this subject, which makes it the place to hear what banks will actually ship rather than what crypto conferences hope they will. Best for fintech founders selling into banks, capital-markets technologists and anyone working on settlement or digital-asset infrastructure.
