The Puerto Rico Financial Services Forum is set to return to the Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino on November 2 and 3, 2026, marking its sixth edition as a premier gathering for executives, regulators, and specialists from Puerto Rico, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The event will focus on the transformative changes redefining the financial industry, with an agenda that includes artificial intelligence, compliance, financial crime, fintech, correspondent banking, captive insurance, AML and sanctions, digital assets, and regulation. This forum matters because it provides a critical platform for decision-makers to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.
The implications of this year's forum are significant, as it will feature high-profile figures from both the public and private sectors. Among the confirmed speakers are Mónica Rodríguez Villa, Esq., commissioner of Financial Institutions of Puerto Rico; Suzette Del Valle Lecároz, Esq., commissioner of Insurance of Puerto Rico; Zachary Kessler from the U.S. Department of the Treasury; Angelo Colombo, CEO of AIG for Latin America and the Caribbean; and Jeff Radke, CEO and co-founder of Accelerant. The participation of investigative journalist Ignacio Gomez, known for his work on corruption and financial crimes, underscores the forum's commitment to tackling illicit finance and promoting transparency. These leaders will share insights on how regulatory frameworks and technological innovations are shaping the future of banking and insurance.
Beyond the content sessions, the forum aims to strengthen connections among leaders in banking, insurance, technology, law firms, consulting, compliance, and regulation. It creates a space for exchanging ideas, business development, and new collaboration opportunities. As Hugo Cordova, president of the Puerto Rico International Insurers Association (PRIIA), expressed, “More than a conference, the Puerto Rico Financial Services Forum has established itself as a high-level space where decision-makers and industry leaders connect, exchange ideas, and explore new opportunities for collaboration and growth.” Eduardo Colón, president of the Puerto Rico International Banks Association (PRIBA), added, “The Puerto Rico Financial Services Forum continues to strengthen Puerto Rico's position as a center for international banks and insurers, while creating a platform to discuss innovation, regulation, and the future of the financial industry.” This reinforces Puerto Rico's role as a hub for financial services in the region.
The event also offers visibility and networking opportunities for sponsors and organizations interested in connecting with a specialized audience in the financial sector.
