Regional Symposia 2026
Advancing Cross-Border Regulatory Dialogue
Jersey | April 2026
This C:\>DIR event brought together regulators from more than 30 jurisdictions in Jersey, in partnership with the Global Financial Innovation Network (GFIN) and hosted by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC).
Discussions explored the evolving challenges facing financial authorities as digital innovation reshapes financial services, including the governance of artificial intelligence, the expansion of open banking and digital public infrastructure, and the emergence of tokenised money.
Drawing on research from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) and Financial Innovation for Impact (Fii), the symposium provided a platform for exchanging perspectives on how regulators can support innovation while developing effective, internationally coordinated approaches to digital financial regulation.
The event marked an important step in C:\>DIR's work to strengthen dialogue and cooperation between regulatory authorities across borders.
AI Opportunity: Balancing Risk, Regulation and Innovation
Miami | September 2026
As part of the Sibos programme in Miami, C:\>DIR contributed to a high-level Policy Lab convening policymakers, regulators and financial services industry leaders to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence.
The session, AI Opportunity: Balancing Risk, Regulation and Innovation, brought together perspectives from across the financial services ecosystem. C:\>DIR's contribution included insights from the global AI survey undertaken by CCAF and Fii, alongside highlights from the C:\>DIR Global ‘Agentic Regulator’ Hackathon, which brought together 48 global partners.
Through a moderated discussion featuring senior representatives from the UK Financial Conduct Authority and BlackRock, participants examined the implications of increasingly agentic AI for financial services, including the balance between innovation, risk management and effective regulatory oversight.
The session reinforced the importance of collaboration between regulators and industry in shaping the next generation of digital governance.
