We are delighted to invite you to the fi rst

at the Hyatt
Regency Toronto on July 7.
With the evolving regulatory landscape, current market
fragmentation, and growth of high-frequency trading, the
Toronto Financial Information Summit 2011 provides, for
the fi rst time, a relevant congress to talk through the data
management and trading technology challenges faced by
fi nancial fi rms operating in Canada.
The day will begin with a keynote address entitled “Technology,
Innovation, Data: The Regulatory Agenda.” from Mike Prior, Vice
President, Market Surveillance, Investment Industry Regulatory
Organization of Canada. This session will provide insights into
the overall regulatory environment.
After this we present a panel discussion of four prominent
end-user fi nancial fi rms, who will highlight the trends impacting
their fi rms’ data and technology spend.
The agenda will then split into two streams, featuring a
combination of panel discussions and presentations:
• Stream one will focus on data management issues.
• Stream two will address key trading technology issues.
Before we close the day with a networking cocktail reception,
a cross stream panel discussion comprised of major
technology providers will outline how they are addressing
clients’ evolving needs.
We look forward to meeting you at the Toronto Financial
Information Summit 2011 on July 7.
With warm regards,
