STA’s 77th Annual Conference and Business Meeting
Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington D.C.
September 22-25, 2010

Has Washington become the capital of finance as well as politics? And how do they intersect? With Congress considering the largest financial reform in 80 years, the SEC again comprehensively examining market structure, and an upcoming election, it certainly seems so.

While we may not come to a definitive answer, we will certainly gain insight and engage in both rigorous discussion and substantive debate at our 77th Annual Business Meeting and Convention to be held in Washington D.C. from September 22 – 25, 2010. Our theme, Wall Street & Washington: Finding the Balance, strikes at the heart of these current developments and the potential effects that legislation could have over our futures in the Securities Industry. STA has always thought there is an appropriate equilibrium between regulation and competition and we strive to articulate that.

Consistent with our history of excellence, we have constructed a program that is both rich in content as well as entertaining for our members, their families and their firms. We believe our lineup is compelling and that you will not find more high quality content concentrated into a few days anywhere else. Our program highlights include:

• REGULATORY INSIGHT from Washington senior leadership such as SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro, Commissioner Troy A. Paredes & Senator Mike Crapo

• INDUSTRY EXPERTS including CBOE Chairman & CEO William Brodsky, Dr. Robert Barbera – Chief Economist at ITG and Larry Tabb, Founder & CEO of TABB Group

• MARKET PARTICIPANT PANELS : Buy Side, Exchanges, Regulation and Trading & Technology

• ENTERTAINMENT featuring an evening with Golf’s Sharpest Wit, David Feherty of CBS Sports and “Monuments by Moonlight” – a night time trolley tour of Washington’s iconic architecture and our nation’s heritage.

The strength of our organization ultimately resides in our membership, the contributions we make to one another, to our industry and to our Nation. Please join us for an experience you won’t want to miss – click on link at the top, right of this page.
