As many as 8,000 people are expected to pack into the New York Hilton this week for the U.S. securities industry's largest annual technology conference. For most of them, two topics that have been garnering recent headlines are probably top of mind--risk and liquidity--and that is certainly reflected in the conference program and speaker lineup.
Those attending the Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association's (Sifma) 28th Technology Management Conference and Exhibit--the second since the merger of its predecessor organizations, the Securities Industry Association and Bond Market Association--will be able to listen to a slate of speakers that includes Seth Merrin, founder of Liquidnet, Larry Leibowitz, EVP of U.S. markets and global technology at NYSE Euronext, and IBM Software Group SVP and group executive Steve Mills.
