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

EQD does an incredible job of bringing together the whole derivatives community from all over the world. Being able to get together, see everyone speak, have coffee, drinks, dinner with the whole community and catch up, get color on what's going on [and] hear about the markets from so many different perspectives. It's wonderful. And nobody else does it quite like EQDerivatives does.

Benn Eifert | managing partner, co-chief investment officer, QVR Advisors

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'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 

What's really beneficial about the global reach of the EQD Events platform is that it provides us with opportunities to expand our potential sales and client base in regions where we have never been in the past. Getting to go to LatAm EQD in São Paulo provided us with an unparalleled opportunity to get to meet so many different folks within the buyside in that one region.

Elizabeth Coogan | senior manager, marketing, Nasdaq

EQD events are a rare opportunity to meet both the buyside and sellside and discuss recent trends and how we can collaborate with other entities to develop the QIS market...And then, what shall we pay attention to for the next 6 to 12 months? Where are the pain points? Where are the opportunities in the market? [It] is super important for our product roadmap.

Pierre Trecourt | co-founder, Premialab

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

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 EQDerivatives.

Jason MinSang Kam | portfolio manager, Kyobo Life Insurance
