The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association is bringing together leading industry professionals and regulators to address the many questions facing our industry today regarding dark pools, high frequency trading, flash quotes, and a myriad of other such issues and trading strategies.  Panels will offer regulatory and business views on hidden liquidity and on recent regulatory proposals from both a domestic and global viewpoint.  Discussions also will focus on how firms are handling the fierce competition, the large variety of trading platforms, and increasingly innovative business strategies (both buy-side and sell-side) in the face of the changing regulatory landscape.

This will be an exceptional strategic and informative symposium designed for representatives from the Broker/Dealer, Institutional Sales and Trading, Buy-Side, Technology, ECN, ATS, Crossing Networks, Exchange, Order Management and Execution Consultants and the Legal and Regulatory communities. Our executive level attendees represent many of the most influential financial institutions in the world.
