Box 3, 31 Adelaide Street East, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2H8 August 16th, 2018 On behalf of the Canadian Security Traders Association, Inc. (CSTA) and our affiliate organizations, I would like to welcome you to our 25th annual trading conference in Quebec City, Canada. The goal of this year’s conference is to bring our trading community together to educate, network and hopefully have a little fun! John Ruffolo, CEO of OMERS Ventures will open the event Thursday evening followed by everyone’s favourite Cocktails and Chords! Over the next two days you will hear from a diverse lineup of industry leaders including Kevin Gopaul, Global Head of ETFs & CIO BMO Global Asset Mgmt., Maureen Jensen, Chair & CEO Ontario Securities Commission, Kevan Cowan, CEO Capital Markets Regulatory Authority Implementation Organization, Kevin Sampson, President of Equity Trading TMX Group, Dr. Robert Barnes, Global Head of Primary Markets and CEO Turquoise and Tracy Castle- Newman, COO Global Institutional Equity Distribution just to name a few. Your CSTA board of Governors and our administration staff work year round to make each conference the best possible event; however, we cannot do it alone. I would like to thank all of our sponsors and our local Quebec affiliate the Montreal Institutional Equity Traders Association (MIETA). Special thanks to our diamond and platinum sponsors: TMX Group, TD Securities, RBC Capital Markets, Bloomberg, BMO Capital Markets and National Bank. Without your strong support this event would not be possible. I hope you all have a fun time in Quebec City, but I also hope you can use the CSTA annual conference as a platform to help develop your career. Seize the opportunity that lies in front of you: create a few new sales leads, reconnect with some old relationships and make a few new relationships at our Battle of the Bands party, learn about a new technology at our Vendor Fair or argue about market structure with Doug Clark. Seize the opportunity and learn from those around you. Finally, I will leave you with a quote I like by Edmund Lee: You must surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers The believers and the thinkers But most of all Surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you Even when you don’t yet see it in yourself My name is Rob Gouley and I’m your CSTA Chair for 2018. Enjoy the conference and I hope to see you again next year. Rob Gouley CSTA Chair SCHEDULE OF EVENTS 25TH ANNUAL CANADIAN SECURITY TRADERS CONFERENCE Thu. August 16, - Sun.
