'Securities Ownership and Emerging Technologies - Our Lunchtime Theme on Wednesday the 9th of September 2026

Our theme on the 9th of September is 'Securities Ownership and Emerging Technologies'.

(This Lunchtime Forum is on Zoom.)

On Wednesday the 9th of September at the Lunchtime Forum we will reach back as far as the 1970s and 1980s to better understand how and why securities ownership records are being substantially updated, using emerging technologies that are enabling regulatory change. 

Notes for reference:  

(1) Our 'Fintech Friday in the City' event on London on the 25th of September will be exploring the roles of Registrars and Transfer Agents.

(2) We will include a trip down Memory Lane, to give those new to business a better understanding of the back office roles that the emerging technologies are increasingly replacing.  

Join us this autumn at The Mercer, for one of our in-person events.

The City home of the CTG Dinner, as well as Dinner for Six and the Lunchtime Forum, has reopened in Threadneedle Street, at a new location. 

Join us this autumn at Gaucho City of London, for one of our in-person events.

We will be at look forward to welcoming those who wish to join us at Gaucho City of London on selected Wednesdays and Fridays both later this year and into 2027. 

(Join us at a Wednesday Lunchtime Forum and learn more.) 

Be seeing you, Martyn
