“Rise Renewed – The Future of Wall Street”
No one could have predicted the dramatic changes that have taken place over the last 12 months! With Wall Street changed forever, we are witnessing the “rebuild,” an exciting time. No one can remain comfortable and each must constantly be reinventing and adjusting to dramatically changed conditions. Our 76th Conference will focus on this “change” and provide attendees a wealth of wisdom and an experience to enhance their value, personally and to their firms.
Paradoxically, and precisely because of the changes we are experiencing, STA is more important to each trader and to the trading community as a whole than ever before. We continue to make traders’ concerns regarding areas that will directly affect us made known to legislators and regulators in Washington, DC. STA is committed to and has been recognized as the leading organization that brings together all segments of the industry—regulators and legislators, market structure and thought leaders.
We are now building our program for the 76th Annual in Scottsdale, Arizona and invite you to join us at this critical time. We believe you will benefit directly.
STA has earned a reputation for presenting timely and informative conferences, respectful of the importance of relevant business content and cost. We are committed to enhancing this position in October by presenting another lineup of influential speakers. Our 76th Annual will provide attendees 2.5 days of powerful and timely business sessions.
We acknowledge the sensitivity to expenses. Our registration fees are measurably lower than comparable programs and we provide “qualified buy-side STA members” with free registration. We also wish to point out this year’s venue was contracted long before the heightened sensitivity. Further, the STA Board of Governors has committed to conducting our 77th Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. (October 2010).
As we develop our program it will be updated on our web site, along with acknowledgement of our sponsors and vendors (www.securitytraders.org). You may also view videos of previous conferences that demonstrate the quality of our content by going to our web site > Industry Resources > Conference Videos. If you have any ideas that you think are important as we develop our content, I hope you will share them with me.
As a not-for-profit organization, STA is most appreciative of our sponsors, vendors and registrants. On behalf of the entire STA Board of Governors, I thank you for your continued support and look forward to your joining us for another important Conference.
