“Mind The Gap!” – The life and times of a man on the move Episode 69
FinanceFeeds will be producing 5 industry events across the world over the next 5 weeks. We are committed to supporting the business growth of all areas of the FX industry, and look forward to seeing you all during the weeks ahead
In this weekly series, I look back on what stood out, what was bemusing, amusing and interesting during my weekly travels, interesting findings within the FX industry and interaction with an ever-shrinking big wide world. This is purely observational and for your enjoyment.
Let the global FX industry events begin!
Tempus fugit, as they used to say 2000 years ago. October is already in its twilight days, and the sun is almost setting on 2019 when it seems just yesterday since the final year of this decade began.
Either time has begun to appear to move at a faster rate due to my continually advancing age, or there is so much of great interest on a daily basis that there is never a bland moment.
I’d like to think the latter is the case, and in order to keep that momentum, as Dean Chiluly’s incredible glass sculpture festival at Kew Gardens closes down to make way for the premier season of musical shows in Shaftesbury Avenue and the Aldwych, November sets itself out to be a very interesting month for all of us in the electronic trading business too.
During the majority of last week, I was busily engaged in making some of the final organizational requirements of five events that FinanceFeeds are hosting over the next 5 weeks.
Since 2016, we have hosted over 35 events across every continent in the world, aiming at different specific areas of the electronic trading industry to allow business networking to take place in a private, invitation-only environment.
The format has become extremely popular among all industry professionals from leaders of the giant listed derivatives exchanges in Chicago, to retail FX brokers in Cyprus, as well as institutional trading firms, algorithmic trading firms, technology vendors and long established brokers in London, Australia’s highly sophisticated OTC derivatives sector and the all important IB networks in South East Asia and South Africa.
Events and the ability to meet different sectors of the electronic trading industry are a vital necessity and we have lined up some of the industry’s top executives from across the world who are widely renowned to speak and address at these events. Full agenda will be sent to you by mail once you register to attend.
Beginning on November 14, we will be hosting five invitation only events , specific to different important sectors of the electronic trading industry, as follows:
