Dear Colleagues, 

EFDI and the Steering Committee for the annual meeting of International Investor Compensation Schemes (ICS) are delighted to welcome you to the ICS International Conference. The Steering Committee is composed of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF), the Irish Investor Compensation Company (ICCL), the Spanish Fondo General de Garantía de Inversiones (FOGAIN), the U.S. Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), the EFDI Secretariat and the host organization.

This ICS International Conference is part of the EFDI annual event hosted by the Spanish Fondo de Garantía de Depósitos (FGD) and will take place in Madrid, during the afternoon of Tuesday, June 3, 2025.

The annual International ICS Conference will convene representatives from Investor Compensation Schemes (ICSs) across the globe to engage in high-level discussions on critical issues of investor protection, centered around the overarching theme:
 
                                                                          “Investor Compensation Schemes Meet Innovation: 
                                                            How to Maintain Strong Investor Protection in a Changing Landscape?”
 
Participants will exchange information about recent regulatory developments, noteworthy insolvency cases, and the best practices and lessons learned and will feature insightful conversations on how to streamline insolvency procedures in the face of emerging risks and discussions on navigating the future of investor protection in a world where innovation and protection must go hand in hand. 
 
We encourage all ICS and DGS representatives to attend.
 
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Madrid in June 2025!
