It’s been a big year in repo, and we look forward to welcoming some 180 attendees to our Rates & Repo North America conference on November 4 in NYC. Prep calls are complete, the panelists are ready and we’re heading towards Wall Street. Here’s a breakdown of the attendee types that have registered so far.
We again find that a healthy mix of dealers, cash providers, hedge funds, market infrastructure and technology firms are attending. This has been a feature of our US and UK events for some years and we generally see half the audience be dealers or buy-side. We also have a number of regulators registered, although there’s a question what will happen if the US government shutdown continues and people can’t travel from DC.
This year’s conference will see fewer attendees than last year by design. We thought that last year was very crowded, and that the event would benefit from lower numbers to facilitate conversation and let people move around more easily. While we’re locked in to our current venue for 2025, we’ll expand to a new location in 2026 that can accommodate more people. We still aren’t aiming for a mass market event though.
Here’s a breakdown of who has registered so far by company type:
And here’s a list of firms that have registered.
We hope to see you at Rates & Repo North America this year.
