    INTERNATIONAL DERIVATIVES EXPO 4–6 June The Brewery London CONFERENCE PROGRAMME 2018_IDX_Conf Pro_FINAL2.indd 1 5/23/18 5:16 PM WELCOME TO IDX Welcome to the 11th Annual International Derivatives Expo – IDX 2018! We are proud to continue this important conference at a significant time for the futures and derivatives markets. Ten years ago, the world stared into an economic abyss as financial markets froze up and an unprecedented intervention by governments helped get the engine moving again. We will look back at those events, and we will take measure of where we are today and where the markets are moving in the future. This year’s conference will feature many of the opportunities and challenges this industry is facing today. Whether it is the increase in regulation, differences and sometimes inconsistencies between governments and regulatory bodies, liquidity and market making, and the future trends for the industry including technological advances such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies. We will hear from HM Treasury’s John Glen, MP, the Bank of England’s Sir Jon Cunliffe, Member of European Parliament Danuta Hübner and Bloomberg’s Stephanie Flanders. We are pleased to feature many of the regulators involved in oversight of our markets including the FCA, ECB, CFTC and others. IDX also features fintech startups in the Innovators Vault and through a special panel session. IDX wraps up with our annual charity dinner that benefits Futures for Kids. This charity supports causes around the globe in their work on behalf of children in need. Over the last 10 years, the IDX Gala Dinner has raised more than £1.4 million for Futures for Kids, including through the Kilt Challenge.
