These two conferences will provide a unique forum for those seeking to learn from their peers and industry experts.“ Said Dr. Gary M. Vasey, MD, CommodityPoint, Europe & Asia-Pacific.
“The commodity trading markets are constantly changing and evolving under the influence of new regulations and economic upheavals. It’s difficult enough for market participants to constantly monitor and adapt to these changes in terms of their business strategy and processes; it’s even more difficult for them to do the same in terms of their mission critical systems,” according to Patrick Reames, MD, CommodityPoint, The Americas. “We believe this conference series will be a very useful resource for these companies, helping them stay abreast of the current and future technology developments in energy and non-energy commodity trading and risk management systems.”
The CTRM Technical Conference Series by CommodityPoint joins broad array of products and solutions focused on the technologies that are critical to the wholesale commodity trading markets. Much of CommodityPoint’s expert research studies and reports, such as popular CTRM Sourcebook by CommodityPoint (a guide to CTRM vendors and products) are available for free download from http://www.utilipoint.com or http://www.ctrmblog.com.
