The 2014 CTRM Conference
ComTech Advisory will hold its 2014 CTRM Conference in London on October 2nd, 2014 at the Pullman St. Pancras in association with Commodities Now magazine. There will be a reception at the same venue the evening before and we are holding a block of doscounted rooms at the hotel for those that may need them. Full details are at the CTRM Conference website.
The theme of the conference will pick up on our article in Commodities Now magazine’s CTRM supplement – Five Big Issues in Commodity Management. As the fundamental conditions of commodity transacting change and oversight becomes more invasive and intense, visibility across all aspects of the business must improve:
Market visibility – market awareness driven by data and a vigilant eye on macro trends. Strategies must be formulated around those macro trends and managed on market data and real-time or near real-time analysis,
Internal visibility – profit is made or lost on daily decisions. Accurate and timely position management, risk management and business intelligence support is key to ensure opportunities are exploited and risks addressed,
Regulatory visibility – regulators will be quick to move and once on their radar, businesses will be the target of scrutiny for a very long time. Developing a culture of compliance and improving visibility for regulators is key to avoiding punitive and damaging enforcement actions.
The chances of succeeding in this market in the future is increasingly dependent on the trading technologies deployed and utilized to address the big challenges, including CTRM, data aggregation and analysis, trading surveillance, BI and reporting. Much likes the traders that earn their living in this unsettled market the technologists that produce CTRM software are being equally challenged like never before.
ComTech is also very excited by our partnership with Commodities Now magazine on the event. We think this will ensure broader participation and ensure excellent coverage for the conference, its sponsors and promoters.
