All speaking requests/proposals should be directed to Art Trager atrager@sifma.org. The proposals that will receive the most favorable treatment will be of a "case history' nature on the subject relating to etrading technology for bonds, derivatives, futures, foreign exchange and equities. Member firm use or use by an exchange or industry utility related by an employee or qualified consultant.
Proposals should include who will talk (a bio should be included) and what they will talk about. Be very specific. There is no deadline for submission but decisions are made based on need and what I have in hand at the time so sooner is better then later.
