Panel

The panel of 6 experts will drive a discussion across a wide range of the subject matter – from the breadth of the enabling and/or disruptive technology influences to the possible and plausible business scenarios that might emerge as we look short to medium term out. Subject matter will investigate the traditional holy grail of STP, evolution in trade finance and corporate banking, post trade securities processing and the effects of new regulation such as SEPA on the markets’ business models.  The panel will comprise technologists and practitioners – and as usual highlight a number of contemporary developments in context.
