This annual FISD event focuses on the technology that underpins the operation of a successful and vibrant market data industry. The programming will dive deeper into engineering and technology and is intended to appeal to both members who come from an engineering/technical background – and serve as an opportunity for non-technical folk can learn more about technology.

Please note that this event has limited capacity. Should the event become fully subscribed, FISD reserves the right to limit the number of delegates attending per firm. This may require removing some registrations in excess of the per company limit.
