TradingTech Summit London: Driving Innovation in Capital Markets Trading Technology

Entering its 15th year, TradingTech Summit London returns on 26 February at Hilton London Canary Wharf, bringing together senior leaders from the capital markets trading technology and market data ecosystem. The event provides a dedicated forum for both sell-side and buy-side professionals to explore the forces shaping technology change and transformation across trading environments. For 2026, the summit is supported by its new sister company, The Trade.
