On the 23rd of October we witnessed a successful conclusion of the China FIX Conference 2008 Shanghai - the second Electronic Trading in China Conference hosted by FPL Committee in Shanghai. The event was attended by over 250 delegates who expressed keen interest in electronic trading and FIX Protocol. The conference leveraged the tremendous success of the Asian FIX conferences where buy and sell side participants and vendor specialists explored the dynamic world of electronic trading and connectivity.

The full day event addressed business and technical issues of electronic trading in China with a series of presentations and panel discussions. The current extent of electronic trading and FIX usage in China was highlighted by the speakers from the domestic brokerage firms, buy-side and the exchanges.
