Program Highlights
Panel Discussion: Trends in Market Data Delivery and Consumption
Change is a given in the world of market data and this session will examine
the trends and changes in market data delivery and consumption. We’ll
examine the changes in how financial information is delivered and consumed
by exploring the changes in the number of screens versus non-display
applications. Our panelists will discuss the dilemma created by firms
seeking to reduce their cost of data during a time when the number of
securities, products and venues are increasing. We’ll also look at changes
in the products offered by exchanges and content providers.
Panel Discussion: European Regulatory Agenda and Its Impact on Financial
Data
The EU’s FS Omnibus proposals have been passed by the EC and confirmation
from the European Parliament is imminent. New standards for systemic risk
oversight, capital and liquidity management, risk control, and consumer
protection await EU practitioners – especially the empowered supervisors who
have 67 new technical standards to implement. Of course, this is all whilst
we define the future of MiFID and OTC derivatives … In this session,
practitioners talk through the implications on the industry’s information
supply chain and discuss their issues, plans and real deadlines.
Surviving the FS Regulatory Tsunami and Political Storm in 2010
In April 2009, the UK banking industry was left stunned after the G20
published what is now a 93-point action plan to restructure the way banks
are monitored and controlled. This new decade has already seen a political
storm battering the industry with even more calls for change. Both sides of
the Atlantic have taken on compensation and operational issues, raised taxes
and enhanced the role of financial regulators. New financial services bills
in the UK, Europe, and the US will potentially drown banks in red tape and
paper. Will they rebuild a safer and better banking system?
Implementing a Data Management
solution – Practical Approaches and Key Milestones
Business now demands more comprehensive data, delivered faster, to
more core business applications in more formats and at the same time; there

comprehensive understanding of how to implement and sustain a data
management solution, key stakeholder requirements, the pitfalls to avoid and
how to measure results. Attendees will be able to evaluate how different
approaches to managing a project may benefit their firm and take away steps
for achieving successful implementation.

Panel Discussion: Business Entity and Counterparty Risk
Ensuring top quality business entity data and mitigating counterparty
risk has remained a priority for many individuals within the market data
industry. Although significant work has been focused in this area recently,
more attention to the matter is still needed. This panel session will
provide an update on the current status with a review of recently
implemented regulatory standards (as well as a projection of others looming
on the horizon), the search for a global standard, and how firms can
accurately measure their own internal risk.
