Panel – Leading the Charge

Leadership is consumed with how to build great teams, while adopting the right technology to ensure success for the long-term. This discussion will focus on challenges and opportunities in the forex market, and specifically how technology is innovating the way we trade, while reducing costs and opening the doors to progress and new risks at the same time. What can be gained by the new possibilities, and what risks should leadership be most concerned about.
