| 09:40 | Post Trade Processing Sessions Tokenovate – Turning Standards into Action: The CDM Smart Contract Framework Tokenovate, in collaboration with ISDA and the FINOS CDM Smart Contract Taskforce, has been developing a pioneering Smart Contract framework built on the CDM. This framework introduces new CDM data type objects - Smart Contracts - that connect functions and data through advanced modelling. By enabling consistent execution of complex tasks, such as rate resets based on multiple observations under the ISDA 2021 Interest Rate Definitions, the framework extends the CDM’s standardisation power into new domains. In this session, Tokenovate and ISDA will demonstrate how Smart Contracts extend the CDM into standardised execution. In conjunction with ISDA, Tokenovate will highlight the following benefits of the framework:

| 11:00 | Regulatory reporting and getting started sessions Bank of America - Bank of America’s CDM Journey: Advancing Digital Regulatory Reporting In this session, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities encountered during our CDM adoption journey, highlight key lessons learned, and explore how CDM can transform regulatory reporting processes across the industry. We will also outline our vision for the future—how CDM can enable greater standardization, automation, and interoperability, driving efficiency and transparency in regulatory compliance. Speakers:
First Derivative has combined technical and regulatory reporting knowledge and expertise to accelerate, simplify, and reduce cost of CDM/DRR adoption. Built on EPAM’s Databricks partnership, our First Reporting solution streamlines data capture, integration, validation, and submission, reducing manual effort and errors. It ensures scalable, high-performance, domain-focused solutions and establishes a single, standardized data repository for all regulatory data needs. Our tool delivers accurate, auditable reports aligned with the latest regulatory standards and provides scalability as it rapidly adapts to evolving regulations and new reporting requirements for future readiness. Speakers
“What is the CDM? What can I use it for? What are its benefits?” Since ISLA started our CDM journey over 6 years ago, we have been asked these questions many times. In this presentation, ISLA’s Chris Rayner will discuss how these questions have evolved, what this progression means for your organisation, and how this led to the creation of the CDM Handbook for Securities Lending. Speaker: Chris Rayner, Senior Associate - Market Infrastructure, ISLA |

| 13:45 | Presentation – Extracting eligible collateral schedules using AI for CDM Parallel 51 / DRS – Extracting eligible collateral schedules using AI for CDM Eligible collateral schedules contain some of the most complicated elements of a legal agreement, and they can come in all shapes and sizes. The CDM has been expanded thoroughly to allow for capture of the different configurations that ECS tables can take. However getting the information from the PDF representation to the CDM format is a time consuming and expensive process. Ark 51, utilizing the newest techniques in the field of Artificial Intelligence - specifically few shot learning - makes this extraction a lot less painful and a lot more streamlined. In this presentation Dr. Paul Hands will explain what few shot learning is, and give a video demonstration of the AI pipeline extracting an ECS table to then be instantly exported as a CDM representation. Speaker: Paul Hands, CTO, DRS and Ark 51 |

| 14:15 | Presentation – The Future State of Markets: Why Standardised Data Models Matter Likezero – The Future State of Markets: Why Standardised Data Models Matter A practical look at what financial institutions need to scale modern markets, from traditional products to emerging asset classes such as digital assets. We’ll explore the future state of market infrastructure, focusing on interoperability, CDM-driven standardisation, smarter risk controls, clean data across the trading lifecycle and peer benchmarking. The session will also show how agreement intelligence reduces legal and operational complexity, providing a consistent foundation for growth and innovation at scale. Speaker: Imogen Philp, Product Director, Likezero |

| 15:05 | Technical sessions JPM - Rapid Adoption Tooling for CDM/DRR using Rune DSL Demonstration of new rapid prototyping tooling designed to accelerate CDM/DRR adoption and increase understanding/adoption of Rune DSL Speaker: Nicholas Moger, Regulatory Technology Product Director, JPM ICMA - CDM Advanced Integration This session will feature a presentation and demo on how to integrate the CDM into external systems, databases, messaging protocols, and DLT platforms for trading systems across repo, bonds and other products. Speaker: Tom Healey, Consultant, ICMA REGnosys - Announcing a new Addition to the Rosetta Ecosystem Something new is coming to the Rosetta ecosystem—an evolution designed to transform how developers work with the Common Domain Model (CDM). Soon, teams will be able to build faster, smarter, and with dramatically less friction, powered by automated insights, streamlined workflows, and effortless validation. It’s a major leap forward for CDM development productivity, and it’s only the beginning. Stay tuned. |
