About the Conference
Join us for STA's 93rd Annual Market Structure Conference: The Future in Focus
The Future in Focus captures a pivotal moment in market structure history. Significant industry changes that were once speculation less than a decade ago have now become reality. Recent meaningful statements and actions from regulators and legislators have brought further clarity to what lies ahead for market structure.
This year's conference agenda will focus on the key developments and forces shaping the equities, options, and ETF markets, including tokenization, prediction markets, artificial intelligence, extended-hours trading, and capital formation across both private and public markets.
