AsiaFIC 2026 Highlights
Last week, more than 340 financial information professionals gathered in Singapore for AsiaFIC 2026, including a record 95 consumer delegates. The event brought together representatives from more than 75 companies across 20 countries. Discussions focused on the increasing adoption of AI in capital markets, the ongoing convergence of traditional finance and digital assets, the transformation of market data distribution models, and the heightened emphasis on tokenization and next-generation market infrastructure.
We are grateful to our sponsors, speakers, and members for creating such a compelling and well-attended event. FISD will begin planning for AsiaFIC 2027 very shortly. Please contact Peter Tierney if you’d like information about developments.
