The Design Exchange (former Toronto Stock Exchange Building)

The Annual Global Technology Event for the Financial Industry

“The Financial Services Technology Forum is a great opportunity for the financial services industry to openly discuss the best technology solutions the market has to offer.  From a security perspective, the threat landscape changes daily and it’s important for the financial services industry to have a forum like this where they can learn more about how they can effectively and efficiently secure their networks and the sensitive information they hold.”

Joshua Block Vice President, North American Operations  Cyberoam

In 2006, global information technology spending by financial services institutions stood at US$317.7 billion and is anticipated to increase to US$351.2 billion by 2008, or a growth rate of 5.1% per annum, as financial services institutions spend more on global IT products and services, according to Celent.

In the fast-paced world of financial services institutions, it is critical to seek sustainable operational efficiencies. Therefore, financial services institutions worldwide are keen to spend money to replace old systems, thus reducing IT maintenance expenses.

The 2008 Financial Services Technology Forum focuses on new, cutting-edge enterprise applications and solutions that are sustainable, flexible, and increase profitability, presented via interactive expositions and engaging conference sessions presented to all corporate users, from service providers to small, medium and large businesses alike.
