Following the success of last year's inaugural The Future of Clearing and Settlement conference, the event is returning to provide further insight into the prospects for the post trade sector. As the sector continues to attract the attention of regulators, we examine the formation and implementation of key regulation in Europe and the US. The drive into OTC Derivatives continues apace, and we will take an in-depth look into the opportunities and complexities of these derivatives. We will also discuss progress made and the remaining potential for achieving interoperability as well as developments in harmonising settlement. The Future of Clearing & Settlement will bring together CCPs, CSDs, exchanges and selected members of the buy-side to debate the optimum way forward to ensure mutually beneficial developments that lead to a healthy, competitive post-trade sector.Christian Sjoberg, Chief Executive Officer, Oslo ClearingYannic Weber, Chief Executive Officer, Euroclear UK & IrelandMarco Strimer, Chief Executive Officer, SIS X-ClearJoël Mérère, Executive Director, EuroclearKevin Milne, Director of Post Trade, London Stock Exchange
