Pre-event Interviews
In the run-up to the Leaders in Finance Financial Markets Event on 3 December 2026, we will publish speaker interviews here. In these interviews, speakers will introduce themselves, discuss the key opportunities and challenges in their field, and share their expectations for the event.
Participants
With our Compliance Event, we aim to bring together high-level speakers and attendees to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and ideas.
Therefore, this event should be of interest to compliance professionals, but also for leaders who, while not engaged in compliance daily, view it as a crucial element in strategic management.
We expect to welcome 100+ attendees from 50+ organizations, both public and private. Our event is driven by a clear mission.
First, we want to bring the (financial) professionals in the Compliance space together and encourage knowledge sharing and exchange of best practices.
Secondly, we hope to add value in the deepening of cooperation between the different stakeholders in the Compliance sector, among other things, by facilitating the forming of new relationships and to deepen existing relationships.
Finally above all we aim to achieve that all participants will travel home after the conference full of energy and enthusiasm.
