Where Integrity Meets Innovation

As financial services evolve under the forces of technology, regulation, and rising customer expectations, institutions are under increasing pressure to strengthen business resilience while remaining both risk-aware and client-centric.

The 4th edition of the Conduct Risk Conference unites regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore how the financial sector can adapt to rapid technological change without compromising on integrity, compliance, or customer trust.

This year’s conference will explore how firms can navigate the tension between innovation and integrity, keeping customer outcomes central to their strategic decisions. In addition to keynote addresses and panel discussions, delegates will benefit from specialised masterclasses designed to deliver practical, hands-on guidance for managing conduct risk effectively

This year’s programme will unpack:
• The impact of AI and digital transformation on ethical business practices
• Cross-border regulatory alignment in the SADC region
• How investment firms embed conduct risk in decisions
• Practical case studies on governance, culture, and accountability

Join us for insightful keynotes, engaging panels, and valuable networking as we shape a responsible and sustainable financial future.

  • Regulators’ Perspective: Addressing Conduct Risk from a Regulatory Standpoint
  • Compliance heat map: What keeps CCOs up at night
