2 July 12, Toronto Welcome Dear data management and trading technology professionals, It is with pleasure that we invite you to attend the second Toronto Financial Information Summit hosted by Inside Market Data, Inside Reference Data and Waters Technology, which will take place at the Hyatt Regency Toronto on July 12. With major shifts and regulatory reforms coming together to shape the Canadian exchange marketplace, and uncertainty as to how these changes will play out, financial firms operating in Canada are under pressure to revise their data management and trading technology strategies to respond to the upcoming challenges promptly and effectively. Against the backdrop of this changing marketplace, the Toronto Financial Information Summit will provide a vibrant platform for data and trading technology professionals to address the challenges they face, and determine the best solutions for 2012 and beyond. This one-day conference is divided into two streams, each featuring a combination of panel discussions and presentations. The first stream focuses on key issues surrounding market and reference data management, including discussions on next-generation tools, contract negotiation, data quality, evaluated prices, integrating new sources such as social media, governance, standardization, and the impact of Canada s evolving regulatory and exchange landscape on data contracts. The second stream concentrates on trading technology issues, with panels addressing the benefits and challenges of automating OTC markets, fast and smart routing strategies, multi-asset solutions, outsourcing, and architectures that balance data capacity and performance. The day begins with a keynote address from a prominent local market practitioner, Stéfane Marion, Chief Economist and Strategist, National Bank Financial. It will end with another cross-stream panel discussion assessing future scenarios for the global economy and their impact on how vendors will meet client needs followed by a networking cocktail reception.
