Event Ends
“It was an excellent event and it was great to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones! I enjoyed all the sessions I saw: the panellists were excellent and all experts in their fields.”
“This is my second year attending the [TradingTech Summit]. A-Team Group pull together a good group of relevant panellists and speakers – backed up by a good show in the exhibitor section. These are the people who you want to meet and listen to.
I find myself able to agree with some information – but always with a learning aspect attached to that and the rest.
I look forward to the event next year.”
“It was very useful, lots of insight in a small package. Coming from a relatively unsophisticated market such events help for keeping track of global trends and potentially building our competitive advantage.”
“I found it a great opportunity to hear from and network with, many of the thought leaders in the trading technology space.”
