The World Federation Of Exchanges To Convene WFEClear 2026 In Toronto

The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), the global industry group for exchanges and CCPs, today looks ahead to WFEClear 2026, its annual clearing and derivatives conference.

The WFE is looking forward to welcoming delegates from across the global market infrastructure community to Toronto from 21–23 April 2026. Hosted by TMX Group, the conference will bring together senior leaders from exchanges, central counterparties, regulators and academia to discuss the key issues shaping clearing and derivatives markets.

The programme will showcase original research alongside industry perspectives, reflecting the WFE’s continued focus on evidence-based policy and market development. It builds on strong engagement with the call for papers, which invited theoretical, empirical and policy research relevant to clearing and derivatives markets.

John McKenzie, Chief Executive Officer of TMX Group and Chair of the WFE, said: "We are proud to host WFEClear 2026 in Toronto and look forward to welcoming participants from across the global market infrastructure community to our great city. This event provides an important opportunity to bring a range of stakeholders from across this vital ecosystem together to exchange ideas, strengthen collaboration and advance the evolution of world markets.”

Nandini Sukumar, Chief Executive Officer of the WFE, said: “WFEClear is a unique forum that brings together policymakers, market infrastructures, and academics to examine the issues shaping clearing and derivatives markets. We look forward to welcoming delegates and to facilitating open dialogue grounded in robust analysis and global perspectives.”

WFEClear forms a key part of the WFE’s research and policy agenda, supporting informed debate on the opportunities and challenges facing central clearing. By bringing together industry expertise and academic insight, the conference contributes to the development of fair, transparent, and resilient global markets.
