Leap Into Finance

FINRA’s premier event—the Annual Conference provides the opportunity for practitioners, peers and regulators to exchange ideas on today’s most timely compliance and regulatory topics. The conference offers a broad range of topics including regulatory compliance, risk management, crypto asset developments, trends and threats in financial crimes and the evolution of branch office inspections, among others.

During the conference, you’ll engage with thought leaders and the latest research on how to build and bolster thriving organizations. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals from diverse industries. Attendance is limited to ensure high-quality experiences for all, so early registration is recommended. We encourage group attendance to experience the most content and to help enact positive initiatives coming away from the conference.

The SEC Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA), Lehigh University’s Center for Financial Services (CFS), and University of Virginia’s Richard A. Mayo Center for Asset Management (Mayo Center) will jointly host the 12th Annual Conference on Financial Market Regulation (CFMR 2025). The goal of the conference is to bring together participants for an exchange of views on topics of relevance to the Commission.
