FISD Newsletter – January 2026

by FISD NewsFISD Newsletter Archive

Join Us in Singapore for AsiaFIC 2026

Registration is now open for AsiaFIC 2026, taking place May 20–22 in Singapore. AsiaFIC brings together the region’s financial information community for three days of panels, workshops, networking, vendor exhibits, and the popular Market Data Engineering Stream across multiple venues. Expected to be our largest event yet, capacity—especially on May 22—is limited, so early registration is encouraged. Employees of FISD consumer members attend free, and all other FISD members receive one complimentary delegate pass.

New FISD Attendance Policy

FISD is implementing a new attendance policy to ensure fairness and maximize member access to events, as not showing up at an event without a previous cancellation limits opportunities for others. Beginning in January 2026, members with three or more no-shows within a 12-month period will be provisionally blocked from registering for future events, so timely cancellation is strongly encouraged. Learn more about it here. 

Alternative Data Council Meeting

Join us at 10am ET on Feb 26 for the Alternative Data Council Tech Stream’s discussion on how alternative data is used in private equity and venture capital. We’ll explore its role in due diligence and performance, key sectors like AI, defense, and cybersecurity, and the impact of today’s market on private credit and liquidity. FactSet and Neudata will share insights on building reliable data sources in this evolving landscape. Contact Jon Neitzell or Tracey Shumpert if you wish to attend.

FISD Year in Review

2025 was another standout year for FISD, with 36 events worldwide, our third consecutive AsiaFIC conference in Singapore, and a record number of certification graduates, representing 40% growth over 2024. Check out our Year in Review, filled with memorable moments and great photos of our members and industry colleagues.

Congratulations to FISD Professional Certification Graduates for January 2026:
