The Intelligent Way To Do Finance
Intel helps finance run faster. Our fasterCITY events have been running regularly since late 2006 and have become the diary date where the markets key issues are raised, discussed and debated - establishing a community now over 2,000 in number.
In 2009 following the events of 2008 we talked about risk being topical. Politics and market evolution is a gradual process, but it can be seen that now in mid 2010 – risk is beginning to bite. Liquidity risk is about to become law via the FSA’s Quantitative Directive in June, the scale of sovereign risk has teetered on the systemic edge. Focus applies right across the hidden issues in front, middle and back office processes – can pre trade risk control the high frequency markets, can the middle office handle and dashboard enterprise data volume and are failed trades being swept into Pandora’s box - all must now be exorcised in order to avoid any repeat of recent history and build a new approach. fasterRISK will feature: Industry relevant keynote speeches, business & technology panel with interactive discussion, followed by networking with a Chief Wine Officer® fine-wine reception.

Recent years have seen a stream of innovation coming from Intel – and the “chip” has risen up the agenda in its significance to the demand of compute and automation in capital markets. Complementing this is IBM's recent announcement of their fifth generation of X-Architecture - eX5 - and the all-new class of flexible x86 systems which shatter technical barriers and offer dramatically more scalable, workload-tuned computing on the x86 platform. Faster Capital Markets & Beyond will feature: Industry relevant keynote speeches, business & technology panel with interactive discussion, followed by networking with a Chief Wine Officer® fine-wine reception.
