The event has been put together based on extensive market research and 108 in-depth conversations with past participants. The result: a dedicated two-day track on FinTech and a track for Heads of Trading and Heads of Trading Technology, a spotlight on MiFID II, an ETF boardroom and head-to-head debates on industry hot topics – in new learning formats that will maximize your experience.

Key speakers to look out for include:

“The new rules agreed in the revision to MiFID II are transforming trading and transparency in capital markets around the world. These reforms are ambitious but have been a long time in the making, and will no doubt trigger a major shift to a new trading landscape,” commented Suhana Begum, Conference Director of TradeTech Asia 2017, “How will trading desks cope with these changes, and what must be done to ensure trading processes remain compliant, efficient and cost-effective? We envisioned TradeTech Asia as a central platform for the industry to get together to discuss our industry’s sweeping changes, and more.”

TradeTech Asia is one of two conferences organized by Worldwide Business Research addressing market infrastructures in the Asia-Pacific.
