EQD Events take place in seven financial centres worldwide, bringing global insight to a local audience.

EQD events offer me the opportunity to meet with all of my contacts on the sellside: all the banks, all the brokers, all of our partners that enable our products to operate. We can meet them in one space, and then at the same time get to listen to all sorts of novel conversations and panel presentations that we wouldn't get otherwise.

So it's an everything turnkey all in one opportunity.
Corey Hoffstein | co-founder & portfolio manager, Return Stacked® Portfolio Solutions

I come back to EQDerivatives events every year because it's a great way for my team and I to spend time with our global clients in one place and really move business from idea to execution.
Kristin Boyd | senior vice president, global head of derivatives sales and distribution, Cboe Global Markets

It's really the best event. I think first and foremost is really the content. It's really pertinent to what I do. I'm coming here and I'm actually learning a lot of things. [I also have] the opportunity to connect with my peers...And all of that is what makes it a great event.
Pierre de Saab | chief investment officer, Convexa

Fantastic event on gaining insights with respect to volatility and uncertainty in todays public markets globally.
Ronil Sujan | chief investment officer, Raaga Holdings Pte Ltd

Gain a comprehensive understanding of global market trends, explore new insights, and engage directly with exchanges, QIS teams, and allocators—all under one roof. The session offers a unique edge through a consistent, data-driven, and derivative-based approach across all regions.
Amit Upadhyay | chief executive officer, El Dorado Capital

EQD conferences are a great way to mingle with experts and professionals. The actual talks are often insightful and not too much of a sales pitch. Networking is great as the crowd is wonderful.
Thomas Schmelzer | partner, Jebel Quant

It was a meaningful time to share ideas and thoughts with various experts. And it will be remembered as the most rewarding time while working in the asset management industry.
Above all, I look forward to the amazing development and experience of the next decade under the new brand of EQDerivatives.
Jason MinSang Kam | portfolio manager, Kyobo Life Insurance
