FINOS Events

Join us for Hack at AWS Builders, a hands-on hackathon hosted at AWS Offices in New York! This event is your chance to innovate, collaborate, and build with FINOS open-source projects like ORB, Fluxnova, CALM, AI Governance Framework, Common Clouds Control, and more.

Moving Tokenization from Experimentation to Production Standard

As tokenized assets interact with existing market infrastructure, the financial industry lacks a unified way to model ownership, lifecycle events, and settlement.

Tokenization is moving from experimentation to implementation across traditional financial markets and digitally native markets. As tokenised securities, collateral, settlement assets, and digitally native instruments begin to interact with existing market infrastructure, the industry needs a common way to describe what these assets are, how ownership or entitlement is represented, how rights and obligations attach to them, and how lifecycle and settlement events should be modelled.

This workshop, convened by FINOS and chaired by Ciarán McGonagle, Chair of the CDM Tokenised Assets Working Group, will bring together practitioners, infrastructure providers, legal and product specialists, technologists, and standards contributors working on tokenised solutions across traditional and digital markets. The objective is to define a practical roadmap for the working group, identifying the priority use cases, data model extensions, and workflow requirements needed to support tokenised assets within the CDM.

The Future of the Interoperable Financial Desktop

Stop building custom point-to-point integrations for every new application. Standardize your desktop workflows.

Join us at FDC3Con, a hands-on workshop and showcase bringing together the growing FDC3 ecosystem at the Open Source in Finance Forum London 2026. This session will feature live demonstrations from across the community, showing how top financial institutions and vendors are using FDC3 to seamlessly connect applications, workflows, agents, and AI-driven experiences across the financial desktop.

Shift from Diagrams to Code: Master the Common Architecture Language Model

Traditional, document-driven architecture governance can no longer keep up with modern engineering velocities.

Join us for an immersive, deeply practical workshop dedicated entirely to the Common Architecture Language Model (CALM)—one of the fastest-growing projects in FINOS history. This session is designed to get you hands-on with the core tools, schemas, and syntax of CALM. You will learn how to transition from static, stale architecture diagrams to live, machine-readable Architecture as Code (AaC) that can be versioned, validated, and integrated directly into software delivery lifecycles.

Operationalizing Responsible AI & Regulatory Compliance for Finance

You have the AI models. Do you have the license to operate?

As Generative AI moves from sandbox to production, financial institutions face a critical challenge: proving to regulators (FCA, PRA, EU AI Act) that their AI is safe, fair, and compliant.

Join the FINOS AI Governance community for the new AIGF Leader Training curriculum

Maximize Infrastructure Utilisation While Maintaining Regulatory Compliance

Kubernetes fleets in financial services routinely run below 30% utilisation—a direct CAPEX drag driven by regulatory headroom, capacity reservations, and workload isolation requirements.

5-Spot, RBC Capital Markets' first open-source contribution and a FINOS-hosted project, reclaims that idle capacity by turning Cluster API (CAPI) into a spot-aware scheduling substrate, delivering measurable infrastructure savings at fleet scale.

Join us for a code-level deep dive led by the project's author. Attendees will deploy 5-Spot on a k0smotron managed cluster, classify spot-eligible workloads, and watch the scheduler redistribute capacity in real time. We will open the hood on the design decisions that matter for regulated environments: deterministic preemption windows, workload residency guarantees, graceful drain semantics, and CAPI reconciliation under continuous churn.

Standardizing Secure Cloud Infrastructure for Financial Services

Stop mapping security controls manually. Start automating your cloud compliance.

Join the FINOS Common Cloud Controls (CCC) maintainers and community for a hands-on workshop exploring how the financial industry is collaborating on open standards for secure cloud infrastructure. Building on momentum from recent CCC workshops and industry adoption, this session will introduce the CCC project, demonstrate how organizations can use the controls and tooling in practice, and showcase progress across the ecosystem.

Automating Governance: Moving from "Draft" to "Published" Standards

Stop trading velocity for compliance. You can have both.

Following the success of our recent workshop in Toronto with major Canadian financial institutions, the Open SDLC Controls Framework working group is coming to London.

For most financial institutions, "Audit Season" remains a manual, friction-filled process of gathering screenshots and halting deployments. This workshop is designed to change that. Join industry leads to help finalize the next set of "Controls as Code."
