Financial markets are full of contradictions – on the one hand, they are constantly evolving, but on the other, some things never change. This is also true of the GL NET Forum. Every year, it gets bigger and better, as it brings together market participants to discuss the latest issues affecting our industry; frequently, though, many of these are familiar.

This year, the major themes included the impact of MiFID, the effect of algo trading on the market’s infrastructure and the levels of STP in the industry. All familiar subjects. But what changes is the way market participants deal with them.
The GL NET Forum is a collective think tank. The delegates who saw what was on offer may not have entirely conquered all the challenges their businesses are facing, but they will certainly have left with some solid ideas about what they need to do.
As a stakeholder of the financial community, GL TRADE is proud to organise this collective think tank. In 2008,
GL TRADE intends to organise more discussions and debates within the industry. Save the date for our main 2008 event: the GL NET Forum, on Thursday, September 25^th, 2008.
