Capgemini at AFME Optic 2024

When: October 2-3 | Where: 22 Bishopsgate, London

The Capital Markets landscape is in the midst of a dynamic transformation, with the industry facing a whirlwind of challenges consolidations, partnerships, a tightening regulatory landscape, and the relentless march of new technologies.

As the post-pandemic world reshapes operating models, financial market infrastructures are at a critical turning point. They can play a key role in steering the industry through this evolution, but their role will need to adapt. These firms have the power to be the architects of change, guiding the industry through this shift – but they will need to bring the rest of the industry along with them to make meaningful, sustained change.

Meet us at Optic 2024, AFME’s annual Operations, Post-Trade, Technology & Innovation conference, and explore this rapidly evolving landscape and the role of market infrastructures going forward. To book a meeting, write to us at banking@capgemini.com.
