The event has been put together based on extensive market research and 108 in-depth conversations with past participants.

These reforms are ambitious but have been a long time in the making, and will no doubt trigger a major shift to a new trading landscape," commented Suhana Begum, Conference Director of TradeTech Asia 2017, "How will trading desks cope with these changes, and what must be done to ensure trading processes remain compliant, efficient and cost-effective? We envisioned TradeTech Asia as a central platform for the industry to get together to discuss our industry's sweeping changes, and more."
