welcome

Wall Street's most compelling power players come together on one stage at the FT Electric Money Conference, a one-day, top-shelf conference, taking place at Cipriani Wall Street to address the challenges of the markets. 

Highlights:

The Changing Face of Exchanges - From the Exchange Heads Themselves: Heads of the leading North American stock exchanges will reveal how they are responding to the threat of dark pools, bank sponsored platforms and automated trading systems. 
 
The Raging Battle for Liquidity: Growing trading volume is taking place off-exchange on private markets or dark pools. How is the competitive landscape changing in the US and Europe? How are firms dealing with this fragmentation? Is consolidation among the dark pools inevitable? 

The Future of Credit Derivatives Trading: What is left following the worst of the credit crisis? What are some of the lessons learned and how will the market be reborn?

There Will Be Blood---Speculation, Regulation & the Commodities Markets: Are the recent oil price spikes and the steady surge in other commodities the result of the actions of speculators or a reflection of fundamental market and economic conditions? Turbulent conditions make the crude oil market vulnerable to illegal activity. How will the market cope if prices continue to spiral upwards? Are exchanges prepared to act?
