THE Senior-level Benchmarking Forum of Pre-Qualified Heads of Fixed Income Trading and Hand-Picked Service Providers

At Fixed Income Leaders Connect, you’re in control. Your schedule is customized so you can cut through the noise and get your strategic benchmarking and vendor evaluation needs covered within days, not weeks.

As attendance is restricted to senior-level budget holders from the top North American buy side firms and a select group of best-of-breed vendors, you will:

  • Brainstorm real and practical ideas to transform your business through private, closed-door sessions led by industry leaders.
  • Efficiently evaluate the leading service offerings during conveniently arranged 1-1 meetings with vendors that you select based on your current investment priorities.

It’s a Platinum Members’ Club offering a bespoke experience for those shaping the future of fixed income trading. It’s where you make the connections you need to make, when you want to make them.
