ASIFMA Annual Conference: Developing Asia's Capital Markets 2018 | Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (ASIFMA) | 1 November 2018 | Marina Mandarin Ballroom – Lobby Level, 6 Raffles Boulevard, Marina Square, Singapore 039594

Building on the successful and high momentum in the industry, ASIFMA Annual Conference is an industry-wide event, providing a unique opportunity for global and regional policy makers, high-level regulators and industry representatives from both sell-side and buy-side firms to meet and discuss important issues impacting the development of Asia's capital markets.

Well-established as a cornerstone industry event, ASIFMA Annual Conference spans two days and typically attracts over 400-500 high-caliber participants from within the region and around the globe. Continuing the collaboration from last year, we are once again working in conjunction with the EU-Asia Financial Services Forum hosted by IOSCO Asia-Pacific Regional Committee and the EU Commission that will take place in Malaysia on 31 October 2018 (the day prior to our annual event, and one-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore). As such, many of the heads of regulatory agencies in Asia and senior EU Commission officials will be in town and this will continue to substantially increase the overall profile of this year’s event.

Aligning this annual event, ASIFMA and Afore Consulting will co-host the EU-Asia Financial Services Dinner Reception in a separate venue (Aura Sky Lounge, National Gallery Singapore) for selected senior regulators, institutional investors and dinner sponsors on Day 1 evening.
