CFTC Innovation Task Force to Host Frontier Forum Series on Innovative Financial Technologies

September 21, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Innovation Task Force today announced it will host the Frontier Forum Series, a series of public roundtables on the technologies that are transforming American financial markets. 

Each Frontier Forum will provide a venue for public dialogue on the financial technologies and evolving market structures that are shaping the new frontier of finance. Each Forum will convene builders and leaders from across the public and private sectors to discuss how the Commission can promote responsible innovation while protecting market participants and preserving the integrity and resilience of U.S. financial markets.

“The technologies transforming our markets are rapidly advancing, and the CFTC must engage directly with the people building, using, and studying them,” said Chairman Michael S. Selig.

The inaugural Frontier Forum, focused on artificial intelligence and agentic finance, will take place on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. 

Information regarding the agenda, speakers, and registration will be posted at a later date. Members of the public are also welcome to submit speaker nominations to: [email protected]. Please note that the number of in-person participants may be limited and visitors will be subject to security checks.
