Exchange Members – Engage with your peers!
One of the FISD benefits for Exchange members is the ability to participate in the quarterly meetings of the Exchange Constituent Group (ECG). The ECG meeting agendas may include educational presentations from outside parties, discussions about existing exchange practices and policies, and identification of industry best practices. FISD strictly complies with competition laws; discussion of competitively sensitive details is prohibited during all FISD meetings. If you or your colleagues are not currently part of the ECG and would like to join, please contact Tom Davin.

Consumer Workshops in London and New York
FISD will host two consumer workshops in June alongside our local events in London and New York. The London workshop will be held on June 4, the day after the main event, while the New York session will take place on the morning of the main event, on June 18. Space is limited, so if you are an FISD consumer member and would like to attend, please reach out to Tristan Dehaan.

SIIA Dues Price Increase
SIIA announced a 2% dues increase for all members (including FISD members). The change goes into effect on July 1, 2026. It affects all membership terms that begin on or after that date. (If your current term ends July 31, 2026 or later, the change will be in force for your next renewal.)

FISD Speakers Bureau
FISD Speakers Bureau is a speaker database where our members are invited to submit pitches and their bios for consideration. We are committed to expanding the diversity and expertise of our speakers and this new database is a great way to nominate yourself to be a part of FISD programs. Adding a speaker profile to our database is not a guarantee you’ll speak, but we will be reading each submission. If you need help logging in, please contact us.
