A New Era in Financial Risk and Control Management
Financial markets fundamentally operate on confidence: confidence that risk models are properly governed, that internal controls are genuinely effective, and that operational resilience can withstand significant stress events. In today's complex regulatory and economic landscape, senior risk and control leaders are increasingly seeking forums that move beyond generic thought leadership to provide practical, peer-led insights grounded in real institutional decision-making processes.
The Risk & Markets Show: A Unique Co-Location Event
The Risk & Markets Show represents a significant innovation in professional gatherings for the financial sector. This event co-locates two established communities: Risk Live Europe and XLoD Global – London, bringing them together in a single venue from June 29 to July 1, 2026, at the InterContinental London – The O2. The format begins with an exclusive, invite-only Leaders' Forum on June 29, followed by the main conference and exhibition on June 30 and July 1.
This co-location creates unprecedented opportunities for meaningful dialogue about exposure management, governance frameworks, resilience planning, and control environments with shared context and understanding. Senior leaders today are more selective than ever about their professional development investments, and this event addresses that selectivity through several key benefits.
Practical Benefits for Senior Decision-Makers
The co-located format offers three primary advantages that resonate with today's demanding professional environment:
- Accelerated Benchmarking: Participants gain faster insights into what industry peers are implementing, what strategies are proving effective, and what approaches have quietly become market standards without formal announcement.
- Credible Networking Opportunities: The event facilitates connections with genuine decision-makers facing similar pressures, backed by the trusted industry brands of Risk.net and 1LoD, ensuring quality interactions.
- Actionable Takeaways: Leaders receive practical insights from senior industry figures and influencers that can be directly implemented as part of their institution's risk strategy, moving beyond theoretical discussion to applicable knowledge.
This approach provides delegates with depth within their specific disciplines while simultaneously opening access to adjacent leadership networks – precisely the colleagues they often need to align with internally but may struggle to connect with meaningfully.
Risk Live Europe: The Financial Risk Network
Risk Live Europe serves financial risk leaders and practitioners working across multiple critical areas including market risk, counterparty credit risk, liquidity management, capital requirements, and related disciplines. It creates a concentrated environment for benchmarking priorities and approaches, which proves particularly valuable for London-based teams who must operate with agility, justify substantial investment decisions, and ensure their programmes remain aligned with constantly evolving regulatory expectations and market realities.
XLoD Global – London: The Risk and Control Network
XLoD Global – London maintains a distinct focus on the control environment, addressing governance structures, operational resilience frameworks, assurance processes, and evidentiary requirements. In today's market landscape, where operational incidents can rapidly escalate into significant reputational damage and regulatory scrutiny, the ability to demonstrate control effectiveness – while simultaneously strengthening controls without impeding business velocity – represents a core leadership challenge. The programme directly addresses these practical questions through relevant content and discussion.
Breaking Down Internal Barriers
Within most financial institutions, financial risk teams and risk and control functions must collaborate closely to ensure comprehensive risk management. However, these groups rarely have opportunities to compare external benchmarks simultaneously within the same week and location. The co-located format actively helps break down this internal "translation gap" by enabling risk and control leaders to depart with shared language, clearer strategic priorities, and better understanding of how industry peers are successfully integrating frameworks, analytics capabilities, and governance structures.
This integrated approach creates a more realistic picture of joined-up risk management than traditional siloed events can provide. Financial professionals can save twenty percent on registration using the promotional code RMSCAM20 or register their interest through the official event platform.
