On 24 November 2026, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will host ESMA Data Day 2026: “Data in the Savings and Investment Union: from burden to opportunity” at the Laho Business Center in Paris.
Bringing together regulators, European policymakers, trade associations, and technology leaders, the event addresses one of the most critical topics across European financial markets: how to simplify compliance obligations while transforming supervisory datasets into reliable, accessible intelligence.
As supervisory expectations evolve across existing regimes and newer frameworks take effect, maintaining accurate, audit-proof reporting pipelines without accumulating unsustainable operational drag remains a primary objective for compliance, risk, and operations teams.
What’s on the Agenda?
This year’s conference features senior speakers from ESMA, the European Parliament, the European Central Bank (ECB), national competent authorities, and industry leaders.
Key focus areas across the day include:
- Simplification & Burden Reduction: Progress on streamlining supervisory reporting obligations.
- RegTech & SupTech in the Era of AI: How advanced technologies and automation are reshaping reporting workflows and market supervision.
- The Road to ESAP: A first look at the European Single Access Point prototype ahead of its July 2027 go-live.
- Granular Market Reporting: Dedicated sessions covering financial transaction reporting, evolving fund reporting frameworks, and crypto-asset monitoring under MiCA.

Turning Regulatory Burden into a Scalable Advantage
The core theme of Data Day 2026 mirrors the daily reality for investment firms, credit institutions, and market infrastructures: supervisory scrutiny has reached unprecedented granular depth. Whether managing post-EMIR Refit dual-regime divergence, MiFIR updates, or newer surveillance mandates, manual workarounds and fragmented spreadsheets are no longer viable.
Supervisors expect exact matching, lifecycle consistency, and rapid break remediation. Achieving this requires moving away from patchwork legacy pipelines to dedicated, automated compliance infrastructure.
