Attendees will hear how ETFs are being adopted, regulated, and traded in these regions. Each market faces its own challenges and opportunities. The event aims to spark real dialogue between investors, issuers, regulators, and service providers. London attendees can network in person. Virtual participants get full access online. Regulatory transparency and investor protection are key themes. European rules like MiFID II require clear target market definitions and cost disclosures for financial products. DWS Xtrackers documentation details these requirements.
