Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Trading 2020 | Alpha Events | 30 June 2020 | Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011, USA

Finding alpha has always required asset managers to ‘raise the bar’ in terms of technology. Today, the combination of endless new data sources, cheap computing and new AI techniques is powering fundamental change. Being the first to deploy a winning strategy from a particular data set (or group of data sets) requires asset managers to have learnt new skills, built new teams and mastered the latest computing techniques. The potential presented to investment banking is both a profit opportunity (via increased flexibility and speed) as well as a cost reduction play (reduced headcount via automation). Either way, technology is a critical competitive differentiator and attending AI & Data Science in Trading will allow you to benchmark your business and create a winning strategy.
