Nodal Trader Conference 2021 | S&P Global Ratings | 21 October 2021 | New York Marriott Downtown, 85 West Street At, Albany St, New York, NY 10006, USA

The S&P Global Platts Nodal Trader Conference gathers senior-level traders, investors, utilities, regulators, and representatives of the ISOs and RTOs. Get crucial updates on the past year, and examine the future as markets emerge from the pandemic.

We will explore the challenges for nodal traders working in ISOs and RTOs, and the approach that regulators take as they make the markets work for traders, independent power generators, demand response providers, and utilities.

This year we are excited to welcome everyone back to a face-to-face event located in lower Manhattan. Meet with your colleagues from around the country and discuss the outlook for nodal trading in 2021 and beyond.
