| The FIA held their 23rd
Annual Futures & Options Expo November 27-29, 2007
at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, Chicago Illinois. This
event is the largest global derivatives expo, showcasing
industry products, services, and information. FIA preliminary
estimated attendance numbers tally at about 5000 attendees.
TradingScreen’s mission-statement was to continue
to raise our visibility within the derivatives industry
as a true EMS; a multi-assets, multi-brokers trading
platform with flexible, complete Fix integration capabilities,
while branding “FuturesHUB” with algo OMS
integration. The theme of the display was based around
broker/FCM algo integration. This coincided with a TradingScreen
full page advertisement in the FIA’s Futures Industry
Outlook 08 magazine, the TradingScreen sponsored FIA’s
daily newsletter EXPO Today, and a TradingScreen Press
Release announcing TradingScreen’s FuturesHUB,
that included quotes from Philippe Buhannic, Calyon
Financial, Credit Suisse, and UBS. Representatives from
UBS, Credit Suisse, and BNY ConvergEx-LiquidPoint were
on hand at our booth answering questions regarding their
algo offering. The Expo gave us the opportunity to straighten
existing customer relationships and to get in front
of new opportunities. This expo was also an opportunity
to network within our industry, evaluate the competition,
educate ourselves on current and new technology, and
familiarize ourselves with emerging industry trends.
We put on a well organized polished and professional
