SEC 24-Hour Trading Roundtable Set for Sept 17

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission confirmed the full agenda and panelist lineup for its SEC 24-Hour Trading Roundtable on September 1, 2026, ahead of the event's September 17, 2026 date at the regulator's headquarters, as of this writing. 

The Sept 17 roundtable runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, streamed live on SEC.gov, and will examine how U.S. equity markets move toward near-continuous trading. 

This Paul Atkins 24 hour trading push started in July 2026, when the commission first flagged plans for overnight sessions, and has now reached the detailed-planning stage.

According to the SEC's official event page, the September 17 roundtable will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET and examine preparations, operational resiliency, and the potential impact of moving U.S. equity markets toward 24-hour trading. 

What the SEC 24-Hour Trading Roundtable Will Cover

The agency has split the day into three panels:

• Panel One - Preparedness: exchange and broker-dealer readiness, overnight surveillance, closing-price processes, and clearance/settlement changes

• Panel Two - Resiliency: systems capacity, Regulation SCI compliance, failover planning, and overnight trading rules around cybersecurity and staffing

• Panel Three - Impact: Liquidity effects, capital formation, and "Day 2" next steps toward full 24 hour stock trading expansion
