Developments in today's financial markets give many in the trading community pause for thought: What will the repercussion of government intervention be? How do we maintain compliance while remaining competitive? With new technology in development as well as available, how do you decide which is best for your current and future initiatives and will the drive for ever-lower latency continue at the pace it's been keeping? With a faculty of traders, including those in proprietary and high frequency functions, legal experts and technology experts, this event combines lively discussion with extensive networking.
