Trading Architecture Singapore 2013

Trading Architecture Singapore

Trading Architecture Singapore co-located with TradeTech Asia is Asia’s leading trading and trading technology event, bringing together over 680 senior regional and global trading and technology representatives and providing them with the best content, speakers and networking opportunities around.

With over 40% of the audience from the buy-side and over 30% of the audience having responsibility for trading technology investment decisions. This event is unrivalled in its ability to convince Asia’s trading and technology decision makers to leave their desks for two days each November in order to uncover and debate where the industry is heading. Initially started as a pure equity trading focused conference, the event has diversified into other asset classes, as well as focusing on the architecture underlying successful trading.

With the addition of an entire day focused purely on hedge funds, the event is comfortably the only conference around that meets the diverse demands of Asia’s trading and trading technology community.

Highlights from the 2012 event

• Our largest Trading Architecture & TradeTech Asia yet. This year saw our audience increase by a steady 10% and we are predicting the same for 2013, that means an audience of over 750. You simply can’t get this anywhere else
• Buy and sell side global heads of trading and execution participate for the first time: As an indication of the growing importance of Asia, TradeTech Asia featured for the first time global heads of trading from both the buy and sell side discussing the evolution of how we trade and how integral Asia now is to their global operations
• More heads of technology than ever before from leading exchanges, brokers and buy-side within the region
• A fascinating global economic outlook from Paul Donovan, Managing Director, Global Economics, UBS. This was made all the more relevant as the US election results were confirmed mid-session and Paul gave his opinions on how these results would affect our industry and the global recovery
• In depth insights from our chairman and long term friend of TradeTech, Larry Tabb. With almost every attendee in the room regularly receiving and acting upon Larry’s emails and services this provided an invaluable opportunity to quiz the founder of the Tabb Consultancy on his perceptions of how our industry is changing
• Earnest debates on the rise of the new smart trader, the future of HFT in Asia, the rise of algos and the interplay between hi and low touch trading. Making the move into FX and cutting costs through new approaches to post trade were also keenly attended sessions
• In-depth technology content on latency performance, messaging techniques, the ASEAN link, market data and risk compliance
• Incisive discussions on raising capital, long/short trading strategies, technology platforms and risk processes in our hedge fund sessions
