The Full FX Sydney 2026 with ACI Australia

After the success of last year’s inaugural event, The Full FX is returning to Sydney on 19 November 2026 for a second conference in association with ACI Australia. As always with our events, we will offer a packed programme of insight and spirited debate, with particular emphasis on how the wider financial markets structure is changing and its likely impact on Asia-Pacific participants.

With offshore investment levels increasing further, FX volumes in Australia are close to historical highs, and e-ratios are also rising, so what do providers need to deliver to not only maintain, but build, their business and retain and add clients? Equally, how to participants feel about the surge of tokenisation and stablecoins and their likely impact on the FX business? Where are the challenges and opportunities in this evolution?

These issues, and more, will be discussed during a busy day, so to hear the latest views from senior members of our industry - and to discuss the issues with your peers during the networking breaks, grab a ticket now.

Admission is FREE to banks, corporates, hedge funds and asset managers ONLY. Please note that if you do not fall into one of these categories you will be asked for payment. The fee for non-sponsoring companies is AUD 990 per delegate including 10% GST (please note that GST applies to all paid delegate tickets, no matter where in the world the attendee is based).

AGENDA

09:45 Fireside Chat

10:05 Panel 1: Growing Demand: Tapping into the Growth in AUD Trading

As the Australian investment pool continues to grow, more investment is being directed offshore, creating demand for FX services. AUD volumes were at their second highest ever in April 2026 as a reflection of this. How are local and global banks meeting this demand, what type of services and products are clients seeking, and where are the challenges and opportunities in servicing the increased flow?

11:05 The Full FX Interview – What Does the FX Banking Future Look Like?

11:25 Panel 3: View from the Buy Side

What are issues facing buy side participants in the local FX market, what services do they most appreciate and what are the challenges and opportunities for them?

11:55 Panel 3: Stablecoins, FX and 24/7 Trading: New Markets, No Weekends?

The useful debate is not whether stablecoins are good or bad, it is whether the emergence of tokenised dollars changes anything fundamental about the FX market?

Stablecoins allow dollar value to move continuously, including when banks and conventional payment systems are closed. That potentially matters for cross-border liquidity, emerging-market currencies, treasury and settlement. How is digital asset technology changing institutional FX and how does the potential move towards 24/7 trading impact markets?

13:30 Panel 4: FX Market Structure: What’s Next for Liquidity Amid the Great Unbundling?

Wholesale FX liquidity continues to fragment across venues, protocols and execution models while banks, non-banks and buy-side firms reassess where and how they interact. Liquidity is often thought of as a commodity, and even during recent market events such as yen intervention, it has held up well, with price points traded all the way down (and up!). What are the technology differentiators supported liquidity provision that can help a provider stand out from the crowd when it matters most?

14:00 Panel 5: Next Generation Thinking

We hear from the next generation of participants in our industry to get their views on market structure, the challenges and opportunities likely in their career path, as well as from technological advances

14:30 Coffee Break sponsored by smartTrade Technologies

15:00 Insight Session – A Look at Super Fund Allocations

15:20 Panel 6: Is 2027 a Critical Threshold for FX Swaps?

Much has been said about increasing automation in the FX swaps markets, and in the B2C space it has largely happened. But what about the inter-dealer market? Why has momentum stalled when it comes to the electronification of the inter-dealer FX swaps market and what does the future landscape look like for tech providers, banks, buy-side and brokers?

15:50 Panel 7: Tokenisation – What Next?

16:30 Panel 8: From Algo to Artificial Intelligence: The Next Generation of FX Execution

Algorithmic execution is firmly established in institutional FX, but the competitive edge is shifting. The question is no longer simply which algo to use. Buy-side firms increasingly have access to richer execution data, more sophisticated analytics and tools that can help them decide whether to trade, when to trade, where to trade and how to evaluate the result.
