The Event Of The Summer: JLN & FOW Present Trading Chicago
For the first time in John J. Lothian & Co.'s history, we are partnering with FOW (Global Investor Group) to host our first Trading Chicago event on June 28th.
This one-day event is aimed largely at the end-users of the markets: commodity trading advisors, asset managers, hedge funds and proprietary traders. The conference will cover the issues that impact those firms directly - regulation, technology and market structure, with an underlying thread of trading in an age of uncertainty.
Of course, there is always uncertainty and this program aims at getting to the heart of that issue with sessions on derivatives in the age of populism, the challenging structure of options markets, the rise of customizable technology and the latest in machine learning, data and speed as well as US and European regulation. All of this will be delivered in a variety of formats, from an Oxford-style debate on Dodd-Frank Act's repeal to TED-style talks to panel discussions, this will be an interesting and engaging event.
This one-day event will bring together a nice cross section of traders, technology firms and market experts. Our full speaker list will be released shortly.
Here is the best part. The event is free to attend for CTAs, asset managers, props and hedge funds. To register click HERE. For full conference information, click HERE
Do you know a CTA, hedge fund or prop trader who might be interested in attending? Send them our way. Seating for the event is limited.
For event enquiries please contact William Mitting at [email protected] or Jim Kharouf at [email protected].
