ECSDA Post-Trade Conference 2026
Two days on the European post-trade agenda: the road to T+1, settlement efficiency, and what tokenisation means for the CSD model.
The ECSDA Post-Trade Conference is the annual gathering of Europe's central securities depositories with the public authorities, market infrastructures and intermediaries they work alongside.
The 2026 edition opens on the operational reality of a shortened settlement cycle and closes on the structural question behind it: what a CSD is for in a market that is becoming faster, more automated and partly tokenised.
The conference runs as a hybrid: the full programme is streamed, with remote delegates able to put questions to each panel.
Remote delegates receive a streaming link 48 hours before the opening session.
