The Biggest Equity Trading Buy Side Conference

TradeTech Europe is the biggest buy side equity trading conference, providing a unique platform for our event partners to position themselves as thought leaders. This year we welcomed 1,300 attendees representing the full value chain, and with 500 heads of trading from Europe's leading buy side firms. The industry came together across three days to network and benchmark their trading strategies for the year ahead. TradeTech featured 140 market expert speakers, 60 sessions, plus a mix of interactive roundtable discussions, closed-door boardrooms, and practical workshops. The event also provides ample networking opportunities, including a drinks reception which was hosted by AXA Investment Management in the jazz club at the end of day one, and an Olympics themed networking and drinks event on the evening of day two.

“We attend TradeTech every year and love the level of participation, lively discussion and insightful panels. Its a must on our event calendars!” - Anya van den Berg, Global Head of Sales, Deutsche Borse
