4:15- 4:50 p.m.	Data Cost Optimization Strategies – can sell side experiences be applied to buy side challenges? Large sell side firms have long had complex data vendor relationships and myriad tools and processes have emerged to streamline the associated cost and compliance efforts. More recently and in the face of fee compression and increased complexity, more and more buy side firms have begun to actively engage on this import topic. Our panel of buy and sell side data experts will examine how this space has changed and which of these cost optimization processes and tools can be applied across industry lines.

4:50 – 5:25 p.m.	Regulations Across the Data Supply Chain Sourcing external data as part of risk management and regulatory compliance is nothing new and recent initiatives like FRTB have increased the criticality of our data feeds. With recent cyberattacks on service providers and failures in shared infrastructure, Operational Resilience is the latest front in the ongoing discussion on outsourcing in our industry. Our panel of experts will explore APRA’s CPS 230 and similar parallel initiatives like DORA (Europe) and CTREX (Singapore) and discuss the impact on all the participants in the data supply chain.

5:25 – 6:00 p.m.	How deep is Australia’s Financial Data Skills Pool?

Join our expert panelists for a discussion on the state of data skills pool and what the Australian financial community needs to be doing to future proof this important area.
