Zooming in on Europe’s CSD industry – what’s up for 2026

The definitive look-into-the-bowl session for anybody in (or near) Europe’s central securities depositories. A range of industry players meet with the EU Commission’s Jennifer Robertson in a talk hosted by ECSDA’s Anna Kulik.

For a head start, check this teaser interview with Clearstream’s Philip Brown, who will join the panel. In his eyes, the European Central Bank’s T2S service backbone for settlement could still be utilised to support much more financial market consolidation. “We’re in a unique position in Europe in that we have a single settlement system covering 27 markets,” adds Brown. “However, T2S is underutilised as a cross-border platform and we are only now starting to see some of the big broker dealers really looking at it seriously. My takeaway would be to take another look at what T2S could do for you,” he says in the interview.

Can’t add the session to “My schedule”? Your meetings page could reveal if the slot is blocked by a pending meeting invitation.

Adding a session to your personal schedule does not commit you to attend (except for the dinner or exclusive sessions where very clearly communicated). Conversely, it does not guarantee your seat, so come in good time where you suspect a full room.
