The 2021 ISDA AGM is Going Virtual

As a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and restrictions on corporate travel, we have taken the decision to hold a fully virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2021. This means you will be able to access the usual mix of top-quality content and interact with delegates, speakers and exhibitors without needing to get on a plane.

Spread over three days, the AGM 2021 will deliver must-have intelligence on key derivatives issues, led by senior industry executives and regulators from across the globe, while new interactive tools will provide an opportunity for delegates to network and make new contacts. Broadcast live but available for replay later, the 2021 virtual AGM will reach a wider and more geographical diverse audience than ever before.

SAVE THE DATE: The virtual AGM will take place on May 10-12, 2021. Click here to register.

AGM 2022: This will be held in person in Madrid. Dates will be available shortly.

We hope to see all of you at the virtual AGM in May 2021.
