Panel – The Latest and Greatest: Market Data in the Cloud

Panel – AI: Looking Beyond the Hype

Referencing the Gartner ‘Hype Cycle’ – in respect of Artificial Intelligence  are we approaching a peak of inflated expectations or a trough of disillusionment ? We are not yet on the slope of enlightenment and definitely a long way from any kind of plateau of productivity. Chat GPT has stirred things lately. Market data folk have not spent much, if any, time thinking about AI. Was that –a mistake?

A Down to Earth Look at the Role of ‘On Prem’ Panel

Cloud is front and center in the market data industry of 2023. But there was life before the Cloud and there is life without the Cloud. Market data engineering has worked on premises for decades, worked well far below those fluffy alluring clouds. In this session we keep our feet firmly on the ground and explore the continuing role that ON PREMISES technology has to play. Cloud is not the be all end all – at least not yet.

Panel – The Market Data Engineering Brain Drain 

We know that people matter – and in this session we get personal. All the exciting market data technology we discuss at events like this is created by people, implemented by other people and then operated and supported by yet more people. Recruiting, training, nurturing and retaining such people is a challenge – we should rise to that challenge, together!
