Dear Colleague,

We are delighted to invite you to the north American Financial Information Summit 2012, our annual congress hosted by Inside Market Data and Inside Reference Data in new york.

the 10th annual conference in north America finds the financial data industry awash in regulatory consultation and end-users facing a plethora of interlinked challenges to tackle in 2012; designing data management systems, considering new common standards, implementing mandated regulatory initiatives, prioritizing workloads and meeting regulatory timescales. this is against a backdrop of a US presidential year, with financial institutions and investors unlikely to increase market data budgets until the politics and policies are sorted out.

on May 22, leading data management executives will gather to discuss the challenges that have been keeping them awake at night and the key ways of overcoming them.

the day will begin with a keynote address from thomas Bayer, Chief Information officer of the US Securities and exchange Commission, who will discuss how the SeC is keeping pace with the financial institutions and the capacity issues associated with monitoring markets that are experiencing record data volumes.

In the market data stream, highlights include a discussion with end-users on the best practices that have emerged for reducing costs, managing vendors and delivering maximum value from market data. In addition, there will be panel discussions on analyzing and correlating newsfeeds and social media, a session on where to spend to leverage low-latency advantage, and our experts also look at capacity planning for rising market data traffic and how the financial industry is using disruptive cloud and on-demand technologies for market data.

Highlights in the reference data stream include an end-user panel dedicated to discussing how to prepare your business for the new regulatory requirements, as well as an expert discourse on how regulation is re-writing the rules for eDM, the role of data management in mitigating and improving risk, how far to go beyond LeI, evaluating prices and a case study on Fatca regulation.

this year’s event also features our popular champagne roundtables, which provide the opportunity to tackle a number of hot and contentious issues with industry leaders in a friendly and informal setting.

the north American Financial Information Summit is the most comprehensive data management congress for market and reference data professionals. We look forward to meeting you at the event on May 22.
