T+1 is coming. Is your firm ready?
Join us on Tuesday 10 November 2026 for Grant Thornton's T+1 Dinner — an evening for leaders at mid-tier investment banks, trading firms, buy-side institutions and retail platforms working out what T+1 settlement really means for their business.
This isn't just another industry dinner.
We'll hear directly from Andrew Douglas, Chair of the T+1 Settlement Taskforce, and Charlie Pugh, T+1 Lead at Euroclear, on where the market stands — and, just as importantly, how firms outside the largest players are progressing against next October's deadline. Expect a frank conversation about what's working, what isn't, and where the gaps still sit.
Full agenda will be shared in due course.
The evening opens with a drinks reception at 18:00, followed by a seated dinner at 18:45 — good food, good company, and plenty to talk about — at our London office, 8 Finsbury Circus.
RSVP by Friday 23rd October by completing the form on this page, and let us know of any dietary or accessibility requirements.
