The Data Licensing Forum will explore industry trends, themes and specific developments relating to licensing of financial market data from Exchanges and Data Vendors.

In a landscape where data is at once a competitive asset, a regulatory concern, and major expense, the Data Licensing Forum 2025 – hosted by 3d innovations in partnership with A-Team Group – brings together leading voices in the financial services sector to tackle the challenges and opportunities surrounding data licensing, usage rights, and contractual frameworks.

The Enterprise Market Data industry is extremely dynamic with M&A activity, product augmentation, divisional divesture and regulation directly affecting licensing policies, contracts and fees on an ongoing basis. Being ITK (in the know) is a key competency and requirement for any market data professional, and the Data Licensing Forum is the must-attend event for data managers seeking to understand the latest developments and nuances of market data licensing and contracts.

This invitation-only, closed-door forum offers a focused environment for senior data practitioners, compliance professionals, and market infrastructure leaders to engage in expert-led discussions and hear practical case studies. From regulatory expectations to commercial strategies, the agenda will explore critical themes shaping the future of market data and its governance.

Key Highlights:

• Deep dive into data licensing trends (AI, Third-Party licensing etc)
• Q&A discussions around specific licensing topics

Target Audience:

This forum is designed for senior-level professionals working in market data management, data licensing, legal and compliance, vendor management, operations, and technology roles across financial institutions, data vendors, and market infrastructure firms.
