Every year since 1997, the Federation has organised an international conference on European capital markets. Hosted by a different member exchange, the European Financial Markets Convention attracts more than 150 delegates from Europe and overseas. During the course of the event, keynote speakers address important issues and challenges facing the European securities markets. Delegates from European and international financial and political institutions, from companies large and small and from member exchanges are able to share ideas and opinions in round table and panel discussions.
