All buy-side passes are carefully vetted. If you register for a buy-side pass and do not qualify under our criteria (see below), your pass will be cancelled, and you may not be informed.
‘Buy-side’ firms are any end-user client with +250m AUM on their books and no trading clients. So buy-side firms are asset managers, hedge funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, pension funds, CTAs, and corporates.
Any firm that has trading clients of its own or trades on behalf of other asset managers, sell-side tier 1, 2, and 3 banks, broker-dealers, prime brokers, prime of primes, ETF providers (including asset manager ETF issuers), outsourced trading desks, technology providers, platforms, and venues, does not fall into the definition of a ‘buy-side’ firm.
As a condition of your complimentary participation, please refrain from attending all unofficial networking events, as TradeTech or our sponsors will organise all official ones.
All passes will be reviewed case-by-case, and the event organisers (WBR) will have the final say on all applications.
I hereby allow Worldwide Business Research to charge a “no show compensation” fee of: €450 + VAT if applicable to my credit card if I or a nominated replacement fails to attend the main two-day conference.
