The Market Abuse Summit 2026

Keynotes: Industry leaders tackling today’s biggest challenges
Panel discussions: Explore real-world solutions and future trends
Networking breaks: Connect with peers and partners

City & Financial Global is delighted to announce its Market Abuse Summit 2026 taking place on 11 June. Market abuse remains one of the Financial Conduct Authority’s most assertive enforcement priorities. With insider dealing prosecutions accelerating, financial penalties reaching £186 million in 2024–25, and a new Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets (MARC) under active consultation, the obligations facing financial institutions have never been more demanding. Over the past year, regulators across the UK, EU and US have intensified their focus on insider dealing, unlawful disclosure, cross-asset manipulation and crypto-asset market integrity. At the same time, firms are rapidly deploying artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced analytics to enhance detection capabilities.

The Summit brings together senior leaders from major banks and financial institutions to examine:

The FCA’s evolving market integrity strategy and enforcement priorities
Global enforcement trends and cross-border co-operation
AI-driven surveillance, model governance and explainability
Crypto-asset market abuse regimes and MiCA implementation
Strategic leaks, insider risk and information control

Designed for senior compliance, legal, surveillance, conduct risk and market supervision professionals, this summit provides a practical, peer-led forum focused on implementation challenges and strategic oversight.
