The Nordic economies are still in the lead on the global stage. Economic progress in Sweden and Norway looks set to be robust again in 2011 supported by extraordinary public and external balances. The Finnish economy also remains strong while Denmark is the laggard, but definitely on the right track. Both countries are also in much better condition compared to the average for the euro zone. With a growing interest in electronic trading; the objective to adopt flexible, scalable and reliable technologies and the aim to find liquidity easily at all times in a changing regulatory environment, TradeTech Nordic is the perfect opportunity to find sustainable solutions for Nordic specific related concerns.

TradeTech Nordic is designed for senior level equity trading professionals from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. Now in its second year, the event already proves to be the biggest trading conference organised for the Nordic region. The Nordics are a very fast growing region and face specific Nordic challenges which are not addressed in-depth at the big TradeTech event. This year, we expect 120 Heads of Trading from asset managers, hedge funds, pension funds and insurance companies to attend the event. In total, we look forward to bringing over 450 professionals on one platform for an entire day at the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm with the aim of creating a Nordic trading community.

The agenda is set to discuss the common issues surrounding equity trading professionals in the Nordic region, such as:

• Tackling the explosive growth of HFT within the Nordic region, how successfully it has been deployed to date and understanding how it fits within the Nordic trading landscape in order for HFT to have a positive impact on your business

• Best practice broker selection for the Nordic buy side so that you access the best liquidity for your trading strategy

• Navigating the latest regulatory developments to understand how regulation will work in practice and impact your firm so that you can best position your trading desk for compliance and safe profits

• Understanding how to practically integrate algos in your trading strategy to enhance your performance, trade faster, be more accurate and reliable, and ultimately achieve optimal execution.

• Differentiating dark pools with the objective for you to verify which venues access the maximum liquidity at the best price
