In this special, recorded live at our #REGISTR Annual Client Event at the Madrid Stock Exchange, we interview senior industry leaders about the successes and challenges of 2024, one of the hardest for the derivatives industry as they implemented the far-reaching changes of EMIR Refit, and faced a tsunami of global rewrites.

Plus, lots of conference banter, behind-the-scenes chat and general buzz from a hugely successful event at the magnificent Palacio de la Bolsa in Madrid. We also hope to close the debate on the famous "Spanish chorizo"... is it a sausage? Bets are open!

We're back from our summer break with a new team - introducing Paula López Ortega our new head of client services, and a chance to catch up with our MD Maria Santos - together with regular co-hosts Laura Rodriguez and Nicholas Bruce, we're looking at the success of UK EMIR Refit earlier this month, plus reviewing the main friction points market participants have reported as they adapt to the new EU EU EMIR framework. We'll look at the regulatory horizon with SFTR and FinFrag consultations, look forward to our big Madrid client event on November 26th, and hit our new guests with a surprise quiz... don't miss it!

In this show, we go in-depth on ISDA's Digital Regulatory  Reporting (DRR) - a repository of open source,  machine-executable code that will enable market participants to report faster and with higher data quality in multiple global jurisdictions and across different reporting regimes. Join our special guests Tara Kruse (Global Head of Derivatives  Products & Infrastructure) and Andrew Bayley (Senior Director, DPI Data and Reporting) from ISDA and our virtual studio crew for a fast-paced discussion of the future of derivatives reporting.

In this special feature-length show, EMIR Refit reporting experts Tim Hartley (Dir. EMIR Reporting, Kaizen) and John Graham (Senior Dir. Regulation, FIA) join our Head of Biz Dev. Nick Bruce, Head of Institutional Relations, Laura Rodriguez and Head of Client Services, Barbera Ruiz Alonso to review the go-live of the most significant new regulatory reporting regime of 2024.  After years of preparation, how did market participants react? Did the new UTI system work? Is the data quality there - and are ESMA and NCAs happy with the results? We go in-depth with our expert panel to review the go-live so far and address the issues that remain too early to answer for sure. Plus, we say goodbye to Barbera after 4 years of being a founding member of the team - and give John and Tim a surprise quiz to keep them on their toes. Don't miss it!

In this show we take a break from EMIR Refit and look at the next major piece of 2024 regulation - DORA the Digital Operations and Resilience Act. This will be a potentially disruptive and complex new set of regulations for EU financial entities, and requires a mix of compliance, legal and technical expertise to ensure your organisation complies. Fortunately, we have our own team from SIX and BME Legal, the Regis-TR chief Information Security Officer, and our Institutional relations team to explain the timelines, contractual changes, supplier relationships and technical implementations you need to get through. Don't miss it!

In this special feature-length show, we celebrate International Women's Day and Regis-TR's industry-leading roster of women in senior leadership roles with co-hosts Bárbara Ruiz Alonso (Head of Client Services) and Laura Rodriguez (Head of Institutional Relations), plus very special guests Maria Teresa Santos, Berta Ares (Head Program & Innovation Office, Financial Information, SIX), and our new Chief Compliance Officer Dionne Moody. 

Together, we discuss our different career paths and experiences, offer advice to women beginning their careers in finance, talk about changing culture, and discuss strategies for leading in organisations that were traditionally considered male domains -  or with colleagues who aren't quite sure how to engage with women in senior positions. 

Join us for an uplifting hour of positivity, constructive advice and a celebration of the work culture at Regis-TR and SIX.

In this month's show we discuss the new Regis-TR  MED onboarding platform, discuss the state of the market in preparation for the EMIR Refit deadline on April 29th, and go in-depth on financial information services, risk weightings and data management for today's complex B2B financial instruments with Darren Marsh,  Senior Product Manager for Risk and Regulatory reporting at SIX Financial Information.
