Buy Side Day | 21st April

12:40 AI-Ready Data Panel: Building the data backbone - How can buy-side firms and their partners standardise and integrate datasets to power AI-driven trading?

AI’s potential in trading depends on one thing above all: clean, consistent, and connected data. Yet for many desks, fragmented sources, legacy systems, and inconsistent tagging remain a major barrier to adoption. In this panel, buy-side leaders join platforms, vendors, and brokers to explore how firms are building the foundations for AI-ready trading and investment workflows.

From setting common standards and integrating broker, market, and internal datasets, to embedding governance and quality controls, panellists will share practical strategies for breaking down silos and improving data quality across the ecosystem. What role can partners play in accelerating this transformation- and how can a unified data layer deliver better pre-trade insight, execution quality measurement, and workflow automation?

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Costantino.
