SA Trade Connect 2024 | JSE SA Trade Connect | 12 February 2024 | Century City Conference Centre, 4 Energy Ln, Century City, Cape Town, 7446, South Africa

Launched with its inaugural event in 2019 is South Africa’s premier equity market structure conference offering participants a rare opportunity to network with local and international executives from the buy-side, sell-side, connectivity providers, software vendors, electronic liquidity providers and other participants in the equity market ecosystem.

Market quality and liquidity are at the centre of efficient marketplaces. We will be looking at all critical aspects that are impacted by competition and fragmentation of the equity market in South Africa overlaid with lessons learned from international markets. The speakers and panel discussions will share the latest insights on the current state and future direction of regulation and whether South Africa is adapting to international market structure developments where relevant.

The list of speakers includes top economists, analysts, market structure experts and participants across the regulator, sell-side and buy-side communities. We are pleased to welcome a wide range of local and international speakers who will be joining us. The theme for this year’s conference is based around the impact of regulation and evolving market structure on the business model. We expect robust and engaging discussions, led by industry peers and subject matter experts. Other topics to be unpacked include, what the future of the brokering business model will look like, Exchange Regulation and Access to SA Financial Markets, what is next for Derivatives Markets and lessons from global markets and the Impact of infrastructure, AI and connectivity on execution strategies, will also be covered at the conference just to mention a few topics.
