TradeTech Swaps and Derivatives 2012 May 28, 2012

TradeTech Swaps & Derivatives includes a conference day on the Dodd Frank Act that will offer clarity on the regulatory differences between the US and Europe. The two main conference days will include big picture topics in the mornings such as regulation, fragmentation and market structure.

An unprecedented revolution is reshaping global markets in OTC derivatives. Driven by post-crisis regulatory initiatives; EMIR, MiFID II and Dodd-Frank; the established market structure for swaps and other OTC products is set to become unrecognisable in the coming years.

Complying with the new regulations will be a source of significant cost and challenge for all businesses involved in these markets – but as has happened in global equity markets in the last decade, such changes will also present new opportunities for those with the foresight and insight to capitalise on them. TradeTech OTC Derivatives is the definitive industry conference for all those involved in trading and clearing OTC products and ETD swaps

TradeTech Swaps and Derivatives features 3 distinct streams of content; Trading, Technology and Clearing; allowing you to select the agenda that best meets your needs, while shared plenary sessions and plenty of networking time means that you can also meet with peers and colleagues from other areas of responsibility to resolve common challenges and share ideas.

Stream 1: Trading
Discover how changes in market structure will impact trading strategy, and how algos and electronic execution systems can optimise your trading desk. Assess the future of broker and IDB relationships in a market destined for automation.

Stream 2: Technology
Adapt, build or buy? Tabb Group has forecast that over $3.4bill will be spent over the next 18 months on new technology and infrastructure to handle the change-over to electronic trading of OTC derivatives; assess where you need to invest to ensure compliance and gain a competitive edge

Stream 3: Clearing
The requirement to clear most OTC products will place enormous strain on collateral management, working capital and technology budgets. Choosing the right clearing partner could make all the difference; but what services do you really need and what criteria should you be basing a decision on? Discover the answers here.

Each stream will contain a mix of presentations, case studies and panel discussions to ensure you get the information you need and have the opportunity to put your questions to the experts.
It is expected at least 400 senior trading professionals attend the conference including buy side and sell side derivatives traders as well as those responsible for building derivatives platforms and clearing derivatives products. This event could become potentially as big as TradeTech within the next few years for WBR
