The Asia Pacific FIX Conferences are leading electronic trading events organized by the non-profit FIX Trading Community, drawing key decision-makers and influencers from the trading community to discuss and learn about the latest in electronic trading.

The events are designed for traders, technologists, exchanges, brokers, buy-side firms, regulatory bodies, and industry organizations.

Access to these events is complimentary for FIX Trading Community members, the buy-side, regulators, and specially invited guests, subject to registration and confirmation.

Yes, non-members can attend the conferences, but they may be subject to registration fees. There are a certain number of complimentary tickets allotted to non-members for each conference.

The FIX Conferences are not solely technology conferences; they encompass a broader scope. While technology is important, given their focus on electronic trading and the FIX protocol, these conferences also address a wide range of topics relevant to the trading community. This includes discussions on market trends, trading strategies, market structures, regulatory issues, and operational efficiency. The goal is to cater to both traders and technologists, making these conferences a blend of technological and trading industry discussions. The emphasis on the FIX protocol does give these events a strong technological underpinning.

The program of the Asia Pacific FIX Conferences is created by members of the FIX Trading Community. This ensures that the content is relevant and topical, focusing on current issues as well as future industry trends, tailored to the needs of both traders and technologists. Speakers are selected for their expertise, experience, and the relevance of their topics to the conference themes.

Some examples of the topic areas include Global Trading Trends, Electronic Trading Strategies, Market Structure and Regulation, Technological Innovations, FIX Protocol Developments, Liquidity and Market Access, Data Analytics and Management, Compliance and Regulatory Issues, Asset Class-Specific Discussions etc. While these areas are typical topics at our conferences, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of industry trends, dynamically identifying and incorporating current and emerging issues. For instance, we covered Cryptocurrency and Artificial Intelligence a decade ago, well before these topics became mainstream, demonstrating our commitment to not only reflecting but also shaping the industry's trajectory.
