The event includes sustainability measures through a partnership with Blue Delta Energy to reduce and offset emissions and to prioritise recyclable materials and local sourcing.
Sector representation and company profiles

For business development teams the most effective approach is to demonstrate interoperability with existing infrastructure and quantifiable improvements in operational throughput.
Actionable prospecting advice for Isla 2026
- Target by role. Build separate value propositions for trading desks, treasury teams and operations teams, each containing role-specific KPIs.
- Bring concise case studies. One-page results driven examples of deployments resonate more than feature lists.
- Show technical fit. Include API diagrams, messaging formats and estimated deployment timelines on a single slide.
- Pre-book short meetings. Reach out to identified prospects and propose 20-minute sessions focused on a concrete use case.
- Be ready on compliance. Questions about margining, reporting and reconciliations are common and require precise answers.
