You don't have to make strategic decisions that impact the performance and profitability of your trading desk alone. The Buy-Side Only Trading Summit gives you the unique experience to work through your most pressing trading challenges with your buy side peers. No sell side, vendors, or media are permitted to take part in the discussions. Learn what really works for the buy side from the buy side – and just as importantly, what strategies don't work – without being heavily pitched to. This summit will sell out – reserve your space immediately.

What’s new and improved at the Buy Side-Only Trading Summit this year?

  • Buy Side Moderators – To eliminate pitching the roundtable sponsors will be joined by a buy side representative who will moderate the discussion
  • Market Cap and Trading Strategy Audience Breakdown – You will be seated with buy side peers trading a similar style to ensure you find solutions to your most relevant, critical trading challenges from those that can relate

4:00 Closing Guest Speaker: Understanding Human DecisionMaking To Increase Profits Associated With Trading
When a trade goes bad, who do you blame? Have you ever put the blame on what you had for lunch, the weather, or your unconscious emotions? There’s a whole field of psychology called neurofinance that studies financial decision making and behaviors such as these. Whether you’re a trader, portfolio manager, systems analyst, or sales executive, you’ll be a smarter – and more profitable – decision maker after hearing this presentation by Arnie Wood, who is a Faculty Advisor to Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government Study on behavioral finance and decision-making.
