This is the only Exhibition with a proven track record for attracting executives from the financial/securities industry. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to Profit from this multi-billion dollar marketplace! The SIFMA Conference Technology Management Conference & Exhibit is the single Annual Event that brings together executives responsible for the management of information and technology within the securities industry. This is the annual management education program designed expressly for individuals within securities firms who have management responsibility for technology-based support activities, including: communications, market data, information security, trading room support, web and Internet technology and information systems. Vendors of related securities industry specific products and services will overflow the three-floor exhibit facility of The Hilton New York in what will be the largest exhibit of its kind ever assembled. Over 7,000 individuals visited last year's Exhibit. The three general sessions, 14 workshops, luncheon and Exhibit are all aimed at helping the target audience become more effective at their firms; a very challenging goal. The Conference program is developed under the guidance of the sponsoring SIFMA Technology Management Committee. The Targeted Audience consists of executives within securities firms responsible for managing communications, data processing, market data, information security, trading room support, web and Internet technology, information systems and other related technology activities. This means that the audience is one of exceptionally high quality. We expect over 500 of these decision-makers to be in attendance, as well as 200+ from non-members of SIFMA. While they obviously have a strong technical bent, it is important to keep in mind that they are predominately management people. Interestingly, over 100 reporters from the technical and general press also attended last year's Conference, reflecting the growing and broadening interest in how the securities industry is using technology. The central and still growing role of technology to the securities business has made this Conference a must for technology management throughout the securities industry. This past June, close to 500 members of this influential group attended the conference (34% Senior Vice President/Managing Directors; 43% Vice President/Directors). Conference Dates & Location
