Testimonials

An amazing opportunity to network with the Market Data industry, whether you're an exchange, a vendor or a client it's the most relevant conference I have attended.

As a WFIC-rookie I was pleasantly surprised by the number of attendees and the variety of companies across the globe. So many knowledgeable people working in the Data Ecosystem. I am happy to have expanded my list of peers.

As always, WFIC provided the perfect opportunity to network with colleagues and friends, old and new, and a venue to hear about the pressing topics affecting our industry from around the globe.

Fantastic opportunity to meet with people and discuss opportunities and options that otherwise would not occur. For example meeting all the APAC exchanges that were there and high value conversations with the smaller vendors that chose to come. Taking a pause from the office to focus in on what others are thinking and talking about and renewing long standing relationships in person.

I absolutely love the WFIC events, it allows content, technology solutions and people to intersect on the right level, all while showcasing that data is power.

It is quite remarkable that every two years participants from all corners of the market data industry convene at an agreed-upon location for healthy discussion and respectfully sharing experience/knowledge/opinions regarding market data related issues pervasive to the majority of the constituents, all the while enjoying each other's company and what the host city has to offer.

WFIC is a fantastic forum to bring together all the leading Financial information firm to candidly discuss how best to solve industry challenges.

WFIC is the only place where you can meet all the best people in our industry at the same time. Learning about the new trends, challenges and opportunities should never be missed.

WFIC is the quintessential event in the market data/financial services industry. It affords market data professionals in all areas the opportunity to expand their world via a shared interest in this unique sector through delivered information, conversation and camaraderie. WFIC is not to be missed if a career in market data is a long term goal.
