• Hear from exchange representatives as they opine about what global exchange consolidation will mean for the Canadian investment community

• Stake your claim in the single regulator debate
• Delve into multi-asset class convergence and its potential impact on brokers, exchanges and technology providers over the coming 12 months
• Take your FIX implementation global
• Consider the challenges of accessing liquidity in the increasingly fragmented Canadian market environment including: trading in dark pools and on crossing networks, market and opportunity impact, using smart order routing practices and algorithmic trading strategies
• Learn about the benefits, controversies and challenges of high frequency trading
• Compare and contrast the regulatory environment in Canada with the US and Europe
• Gain insight into how FPL will be working to support the needs of the trading community in 2011 and beyond
