The Puerto Rico Financial Services Forum has opened registration for its sixth edition, scheduled for November 2-3, 2026, at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan. The event, recognized as a premier Caribbean gathering for banking and insurance leaders, will convene senior executives, regulators, institutional investors, and legal experts from across the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
This year’s program expands its international scope with discussions on artificial intelligence in insurance and financial crime compliance, fintech and Banking-as-a-Service, correspondent banking, captive insurance, AML and sanctions, digital assets, regulatory priorities, and investment strategies. The agenda reflects the industry’s growing focus on technological disruption and evolving regulatory landscapes.
Featured speakers include Puerto Rico’s Commissioner of Financial Institutions Mónica Rodríguez and Insurance Commissioner Suzette del Valle, alongside leaders from AIG, Morgan White Group, Accelerant, Popular, Faegre Drinker, Arbol, and other major firms. The lineup also features regulatory and enforcement experts, including Zachary Kessler from the U.S. Department of Treasury and James Lee of Chainalysis, underscoring the forum’s attention to compliance and financial crime prevention. Keynote speaker Ignacio Gomez, an award-winning investigative journalist, will address cross-border corruption and corporate misconduct.
The forum is co-hosted by the Puerto Rico International Insurers Association (PRIIA) and the Puerto Rico International Banks Association (PRIBA). PRIIA President Hugo Cordova emphasized the event’s role as a high-level networking destination for decision-makers, while PRIBA President Eduardo Colón highlighted its contribution to strengthening Puerto Rico’s position as a hub for international banks and insurers. Their statements underline the forum’s significance in fostering dialogue on innovation and regulation.
For sponsors, the forum offers direct access to a specialized audience of financial institutions, law firms, accounting firms, and technology providers, providing opportunities for strategic engagement and brand visibility.
