A look at what is in store for attendees

The retail trading industry has continued to undergo a sizable shift during 2018, spurred in large part by heightened regulations from ESMA, the FCA, and other authorities. With some of the widest sweeping changes in recent memory hitting brokers, the ongoing topic of compliance will take center stage at the 2018 London Summit.

By extension, the institutional trading space continues to see an ongoing evolution in 2018 as more and more firms adopt the Global FX Code of Conduct and other measures. Over one year on, this subject continues to be a leading topic and will be featured at the 2018 London Summit, along with a host of other industry-leading subjects.

While 2017 saw the shift of the cryptocurrency space into the mainstream, this year has been more about the emergence of a more mature sector entirely. With new regulations, a more defined structure, and well-defined demands from clients, the cryptocurrency industry will be a primary area of focus and hot topics at the 2018 London Summit.

Stay tuned for more details over the next three months, as attendees can continue to learn more about speakers, panels, and all things related to the London Summit.
