Buy Side-Only Trading Summit
Monday, October 4, 2010
Sponsored By
How often do you get to bounce trading strategies off of your fellow buy
side traders? Or get to pick the brains of your peers to learn which trading
tools are most useful, and which aren’t worth the time and money?
For over four years now, TradeTech has held an interactive, roundtable-
focused Buy Side Only Trading Summit, because you keep telling us this is
some of the most valuable time you spend away from your desk.
It’s buy-side only in attendance; but we keep changing the day up to make
it even more valuable for you. Here’s what’s new and improved this year:
•
During the roundtable discussions you will be grouped into one of the
following categories based on your firm type so dialogue is more
relevant to your day-to-day and you get to learn from your true peers:
- Hedge Funds
- Long-Only Growth Managers
- Long-Only Value Managers
•
Buy side moderators join roundtable hosts to ensure the most critical
buy side issues are addressed, instead of vendor pitching
•
Pre-determined topics most relevant to your trading desk
•
More guest presenters add even more color to the day

  • 3. Buy Side-Only Trading Summit Monday, October 4, 2010 Sponsored By How often do you get to bounce trading strategies off of your fellow buy side traders? Or get to pick the brains of your peers to learn which trading tools are most useful, and which aren’t worth the time and money? For over four years now, TradeTech has held an interactive, roundtable- focused Buy Side Only Trading Summit, because you keep telling us this is some of the most valuable time you spend away from your desk. It’s buy-side only in attendance; but we keep changing the day up to make it even more valuable for you.
