Buy Side Day | Tuesday 13th April

11:45 AM Trading Stack Architecture Panel: Build, buy or blend: How can you structure your trading stack for speed and flexibility, without losing competitive edge?

Most firms assume the choice is buy everything or build everything, when in practice it rarely is. This panel brings together buy-side technologists at different points on the spectrum - full vendor, hybrid, and internal build - alongside the providers supporting each model, to unpack how that decision gets made: cost, speed, strategic differentiation, and where modular vendor components fit in between.

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