About TradeTech West
Launched in 2001, TradeTech is the most recognized conference for equity traders and the largest buy side gathering. It is the highest quality equity trading event covering both domestic and global trading strategies to increase the efficiency of trading desks around the world. TradeTech runs major events in New York, Paris, San Francisco, London, Toronto, and Tokyo.
The equity trading environment has changed drastically since last year’s TradeTech West in September. Today, it’s more important than ever for you to identify how your buy side peers, competitors, and trading partners are:
- Overcoming OMS and EMS performance issues caused by increased message volume and commission tracking difficulties
- Evaluating counterparty risk and its effects on your broker evaluation process, who you write CCAs with, and which trading platforms you use
- Ensuring you have the necessary tools and systems to trade more independently, and to sort through all the market information flowing onto your desk
- Evaluating the benefits of working with agency-only or more mid-tier and boutique brokerages
- Preparing for regulatory changes impacting the way you trade
- Managing volatility, fragmentation, and the uncertain future of Wall Street
What’s new and improved at TradeTech West 2009?
