4:55 – 5:25 p.m.	Financial Symbology – Update on the FIGI As firms implement increasingly diverse data sourcing strategies, the question of standardised instrument symbology quickly raises its head. In parallel major market regulations (e.g. US FDTA) are working to enhance financial transparency, through open data standards for entity identification (e.g. the LEI) and instrument identification (e.g. the FIGI) Our guest speaker will explore the unique challenges of instrument identification in a modernized regulatory landscape and highlight how open standards like FIGI help both regulators and investors address these challenges effectively. Frances Liu, APAC Open Symbology Data Strategist, Bloomberg
5:25 – 6:00 p.m.	Data Cost Optimization Series – Moving from Projects to Practices While many organizations approach data cost management through short-term “projects”, industry veterans argue that sustainable success requires a more holistic approach. Drawing from 25+ years of cross-sector experience, this discussion digs into how firms can: • Develop comprehensive data usage insights • Implement ongoing and systematic data management practices • Leverage new and innovative tools for cost optimization • Transform data cost management into a strategic advantage Brian Stephens, Chief Information Officer, MarketsIO
