SINGAPORE, March 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 150 senior delegates are expected to gather at the 2017 edition of TradeTech FX Asia to be held at the Hilton Hotel in Singapore, on the 22nd and 23rd of March. This is the only FX trading conference designed for the buy side by the buy side, based on input from 72 industry research interviews and an outstanding advisory board that includes Andrew Maack, Head of FX Trading at Vanguard and Navin Amarnani, Senior Vice President of Proprietary Trading at Edelweiss International.

2017 will be the time to re-think traditional trading, and there will be 35 sessions held over two days at TradeTech FX Asia to help attendees better adapt to the new FX landscape; topics include dissecting the impact of Brexit on Asian economies and currencies, understanding the latest Global Code of Conduct, and how to accelerate electronification.

"Regulatory reforms, market structure transformation and e-trading innovations are changing the FX landscape. Traditional roles are being challenged as a result," commented Gladys Caligagan, Conference Director WBR Asia. "We have worked with an exceptional advisory board to design the TradeTech FX Asia agenda, and we are excited to be organizing such a senior gathering of FX heads in Asia. We know that attendees are busy professionals, and we want to maximize their time at the conference; with regulators, buy side, sell side, trading venues and technology partners all under one roof, we hope that attendees will be able to discover new strategies to enable them to build a winning Asian FX trading and portfolio management blueprint."

48 guest speakers will share their insights on how to build a world-class trading and portfolio management desk, and there will be dedicated in-depth tracks including a Spotlight on China, which will focus on the economic prospects of China in 2017 and the correlation between the Renminbi and other Asian currencies. The popular Oxford-Style Debates will turn the spotlight on G10 vs. EM currency strategies, while a Dragon's Den session will examine the latest in FX trading innovations and technology such as blockchain.
