Now in its 15th year, TradingTech Summit London takes place on February 26th at Hilton London Canary Wharf and brings together the capital markets, trading technology and market data industry to deep-dive into the opportunities and challenges driving technology change and transformation across the sell side and buy side.
Join us to learn about the practicalities of modernising infrastructure for continuous, T+1 Markets, integrating AI, and opportunities for data monetisation. Rapid Addition is a proud sponsor of the event for the third year in a row.
Our CTO Deepak Dhayatker will be on the 2:30 panel “High-performance trading infrastructure – the blueprint for speed, trust and competitive edge”, where a group of industry experts will discuss:
  • What are the trade offs between optimising for speed vs. optimising for data integrity and consistency when ingesting high-volume market data feeds?
  • Beyond network speeds, what architectural and hardware advancements are now essential for firms to gain a sub-microsecond execution edge in fragmented European markets?
  • What new monitoring and observability tools are essential for achieving end-to-end visibility and guaranteeing the trustworthiness of the data and execution pathway?
  • How can AI and Machine Learning be harnessed to enhance infrastructure performance, such as predicting bottlenecks, optimising resource allocation, or intelligent network routing?
  • What are the non-negotiable architectural mandates required to meet regulations like DORA, and how do firms ensure that adding speed does not compromise the verifiable trust and resilience of the core trading system?
  • How should firms strategically evaluate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when choosing between specialised co-location/hardware acceleration and the elastic cloud model for their high-performance computing needs?
