AFME European Sustainable Finance Conference 2024 | Informa Connect | 21 May 2024 | Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam, Paul van Vlissingenstraat 24, 1096 BK Amsterdam, Netherlands

How regulations are shaping investment strategies:
• As the industry convenes in Amsterdam for another year, you'll meet with the major banks, funds, capital markets experts, investors, analysts, standard setters and policymakers shaping sustainable finance markets and policy.
• Top of the agenda are changes to SFDR, how CSRD will shape the data landscape and integration of transition plans into finance and investment decision-making.
• Add your voice to the regulatory debates and understand how your peers are using the frameworks to deliver impact and returns.

Hear from the very people creating the regulation:
• Explore how your industry peers are developing their investment strategies under the current regulatory framework.
• You'll gain and influence the latest thinking into how regulation will affect sustainable investing products and investor access.
• Explore how funds are gaining data to ensure taxonomy alignment, classifying products under SFDR and utilising comparable disclosures

Affecting the discussion around future policy reform:
• In the past two years in Amsterdam we have received MEPs, the heads of ESMA and TNFD and Board Members from the ISSB and DNB delivering our keynotes.
• We've also had the heads of the units from the European Commission, FCA, AMF, HM Treasury, German Federal Ministry of Finance, EFRAG, AFM, IMF, World Bank, IOSCO, EBA, BAFIN, Bank of England speaking.
• Join approximately 300 attendees from the Netherlands, Belgium, UK, France, Germany and many more to continue to move capital towards sustainable companies and organisations.
