ROUNDUP
The FIX committee had asked Lorraine Hahn to act as MC and had based the morning session "The Past, Present and Future of a Trade" around her previous role as host of Biz Asia on CNN. The audience was therefore entertained by Lorraine and her 'expert' Richard Barlarkas of CSFB, commenting upon and expanding on sketches carried out by 'actors' [leading buy and sell sides figures in Hong Kong] to illustrate the themes. The 'actors' post sketch joined Lorraine and Richard to continue debate on each section. The audience was also asked to actively participate using electronic voting tools, which was widely deemed to be both fun and interesting.
The next section of the day, after lunch, was split into two themes. STP and the Allocation Process, presented by Jim Leman of SSB [who was the first sell-side chairman of the FIX Committee in the USA] and an Exchange Panel, involving the HK, Singapore and Shanghai Exchanges. Jim posed many interesting questions throughout and made useful and extensive use of the interactive voting tool to gain maximum audience participation. The exchange panel introduced by John Fildes of Morgan Stanley, gave updates on their latest technological advances and how they were utilising FIX. It was great to see that such prominent exchanges in the region actively participating.
A conference report is being produced which will contain a write up of the day's events and complete review on the results of the work-group sessions. This will be available in the next two weeks..

The inaugural Asian FIX Conference took place on 20th March 2003. It was a really
exciting day with an adventurous and interesting agenda, which definitely stayed away from the traditional,
standard stream of power-point presentations.
The final session of the day was dedicated to break-out work group sessions.
Where delegates had a chance to gain face to face access to FIX professionals and vendor expertise.
