Testimonials

An amazing opportunity to network with the Market Data industry, whether your 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.

I have extremely valuable conversations with key suppliers over the WFIC event that sometimes are difficult to have in regular day-to-day. Everyone is there to engage in a positive manner.

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.

WFIC puts all the stakeholders together in one location for 3 stimulating days market data. This is a must-attend event for market data professionals

Note what past delegates have said about WFIC:

Aside from being great fun, WFIC events provide a tremendous opportunity for us to meet with our industry peers, customers, and friends. The various sessions and debates are educational and help us shape our industry for the future.

The World Financial Information Conference always yields a generous amount of productive dialogue and worthwhile industry insight. Because there is an investment of both time and travel budget to attend, WFIC conference participants are well motivated to ensure there is a satisfactory return on their investment.

I have had the opportunity to attend WFIC several times and each time I have received great value from the sessions and the networking. For senior professionals in the financial information space there is no better opportunity to get current on important issues facing the industry. Combine this with the chance for interaction with many of the key players from vendors, exchanges and user firms and you have the best industry gathering available.

I’ve now been to three WFICs, and I am increasingly impressed with the quality of knowledge sharing, through available networking with industry peers, featured speakers and panel discussions. The topics are relevant and often focused on developing trends and industry changes that we all must be prepared for as Market Data professionals.

WFIC consistently brings together industry participants from across the globe, while providing a valuable educational forum on current topics, issues and challenges. It also brings to a single location the major suppliers, consumers, exchanges and industry peers from the US, European and Asia Pacific markets. WFIC gives me the opportunity to meet face to face with more colleagues in the industry from all regions of the world that is otherwise impractical short of full-time travel.

WFIC is the main event in my conference budget for 2013. Each conference has successfully raised the bar to provide the foundation for peers to discuss and understand the issues and industry initiatives that face us today, as well as assess the implications on our organizations.

The concentration of influential participants is beneficial to improvements in our industry and the uninterrupted time to confer with each other is invaluable.

WFIC is the prime event where the financial information industry actively engages in strategically reviewing global practices and landscape that ensures that all players remain globally relevant and competitive. It also provides an opportunity to connect with all global players in this industry, engage with your existing clients and network with your prospective clients and suppliers.

WFIC provides a unique opportunity for financial institutions to interact, debate and join together to shape the development of the financial industry...competitors across our industry can gather in a neutral environment and forgo their differences to achieve a common goal.
