Trading Architecture Asia 2010 was one of the best gatherings I have been to. Highly-targeted and boasting a very impressive list of attendees, it was educational as well as being a great networking opportunity. A well organized event and an extremely productive way to spend 3 days.

Leonid Frants, CEO, OneMarketData

Trading Architecture Asia 2010 exceeded my expectations in terms of the level of interest in highly technical issues, the focussed interest of the delegates and the number of new customer contacts made.  Specialist conferences are difficult and risky to organise, but WBR certainly show how it’s done.

Henry Young, Founder & CEO, Trading Systems Associates

First time for me to attend Trading Architecture event in HK. I've picked up quite a lot of useful information from the presentations as well as panel discussions. Tremendous networking opportunities in such short amount of time. Well worth the trip.

Chuck Chon, Chief Technical Officer, SBI Japannext

As a technologist, I found this event to be most informative and a great networking opportunity with the most significant exchanges, alternative trading venues, brokers and vendors in the currently hot HFT topic that I attended this year! It should not be missed by technologists active in HFT!

This was certainly one of the best conferences of its type I have been to. The caliber of the delegates, the quality and of the speakers, their content and the overall relevance of the subject added up to a high quality investment of my time.

Trading Architecture Asia 2010 was a valuable combination of thought provoking content plus an excellent opportunity for further developing business networks. With attendance high from start to finish, all 3 days were highly productive

Colin Silvester, Director Business Development, APAC, IPC

Trading Architectures Asia was a great opportunity to meet and discuss the hot issues around HFT and what organisations are doing in Asia Pacific, and beyond.  Everyone was engaged and speaking with each other.  Buy side, sell side, market data feeders, and technology vendors.   All working to discuss the issues around what is needed and what are the issues and solutions.  Really appreciated the opportunity to be a part of it, and to be able to contribute to the discussion.

Peter Hall, Vice President & General Manager - Asia Pacific, Blade Network Technologies

We found Trading Architecture Asia to be an excellent networking forum. The growth in interest in cutting edge trading technology tools in Asia is evident in the number of delegates - almost double the previous year’s event. The challenges for emerging markets sparked some really interesting debates in the well-attended panel discussions.

Chris Burke, Head of Operations Asia, KX Systems

This is a good event to meet the latest technology players.

Carrie Cheung, Director, Asia Pacific Electronic Trading, Bank of America Merrill Lynch

Trading Architecture Asia 2010 provided a comprehensive and integrated view of what is required to assemble and manage a low-latency or High Frequency Trading enterprise.  From the physical data center to telecommunications to the business models and challenges, the speakers and workshops provided articulate, insightful, and actionable information to navigate the relatively muddy waters in the disaggregated Asian equity market.

James Dow, Principal & Chief Technical Officer, CSTK

Trading Architecture 2010 provided a fantastic opportunity for both learning and networking, beyond what I generally experience with other similar events.  Electronic trading in Asia is evolving quickly, and Trading Architecture provided fantastic insight into what is coming next.
