Humpty Dumpty and Data Interoperability – Can Emerging Desktop Standards Put Data Back Together Again?

While Cloud and API-based data access has had a significant positive impact within specific vendor solutions, the task for end users facing multiple vendor solutions has largely remained unchanged.

Through recent developments in the area of data portability and interoperability, end users are claiming back the ability to easily (and legitimately) traverse the boundaries of historical “walled gardens”.

We have assembled a panel of experts in fintech interoperability and the end user experience and we are looking forward to a lively discussion of whats practical and possible is this last but most important frontier in the revolution to democratize data.

Moderator: Stuart Roberts, Sprada 
Kelly Atrill, Lab49

4:50 – 5:25 p.m.

Large Language Models for Financial Data – Where Will We See the First Disruption?

Since late 2022, the world has been buzzing with discussions on the applications of LLMs and the implications for the workplace and society in general.  

Arguably the use of algorithmic trading technologies in our industry over the past 15 years provides some very interesting precedents for model training and deployment. 

Our panel of financial information experts are thinking about how these developments will disrupt our existing (and emergent) financial data processes. We expect a lively discussion ranging from applications of the technology to licensing, regulations and controls. 

Moderator: Nimesh Bharadia, Kaimian 
James Crosby, Fencore 
Naman Joshi, Databricks
Matt Pancino, Google Cloud
Mark Thomson, Optiver 
Patrick Tompsett, Factset 

5:25 – 6:00 p.m.

Financial Data, Compliance and Regulatory Enforcement – Data Lessons for Emerging Initiatives like ESG

Whether its compliance with FRTB or TCFD, externally sourced data plays a critical role in a firm’s calculations, disclosures and ultimate compliance.

Recent local and global ESG regulatory enforcement actions against FIs come just as local and global digital disclosure standards take a leap forward.

Building on the success of our ESG data panel in April, we have convened experts from across the industry to examine how we might apply data lessons from trading book risk and compliance to the evolution of sustainability risk and compliance.
