Following on the success of the FIX Protocol Electronic Trading events held across Asia since 2003, FPL Asia Pacific Education & Marketing Sub-committee is organizing the 6th Asia Pacific Trading Summit 2008 in June 2008 in Hong Kong.

The event will bring together over 250 of the region's leading buy-side dealers, hedge fund managers, brokers, traders, exchange representatives, regulators and solution providers.

The dynamic group of leading speakers and panelists, from some of the most successful and innovative firms in the global electronic trading arena, will highlight the different buy-side, broker, vendor, ECN and exchange perspectives.

This event will once again extensively use the real-time interactive survey to gather instant feedback to facilitate more participation from the audience and act as a catalyst for further debate amongst the panelists and speakers.
