2027 Annual Conference

FINRA’s premier event—the Annual Conference creates an environment for member firms to learn from FINRA staff and connect with industry peers. This forum is designed to provide practical guidance and critical insights on trending regulatory and compliance topics which, in turn, aims to increase investor protection. Firms can expect to hear how to prepare and adapt to regulatory changes and refine and strengthen compliance practices, all while participating in various opportunities to build their network of industry professionals.
