With 300 delegates already registered, a near sold-out exhibition floor, and full seminar programme, Finextra's second City Technology Strategies show, Finexpo CTS, is all set to take the pulse of the financial markets as we enter 2004.
Taking place once again at Cabot Hall in Canary Wharf London on Thursday 29 January, the one-day conference and exhibition covers the major IT strategies and developments impacting investment banking and the capital markets, with particular emphasis on IT spending strategies, business process outsourcing, risk management and STP.
With six weeks to go before the event, Finexpo is approaching sell out of its 38 exhibitor spaces. The show has already registered advanced bookings from over 300 senior operations staff and IT professionals from financial institutions worldwide.
Visitors to Finexpo have the opportunity to network with their peers, check out the latest products and technologies and hear presentations from top bankers, industry analysts, trade associations and vendors in three separate conference streams running throughout the day.
Finextra will also be releasing its second annual Financial Technology Strategies research report at the show. For the report, Finextra canvasses the views of front, middle and back office staff at financial institutions worldwide.
Last year's research accurately forecast the severe downturn in financial technology spending experienced throughout 2003. We're expecting to publish a more confident, if cautious, set of figures for this coming year, reflected in the high quality of CxO-level directors with budgetary powers signing up for Finexpo 2004.
