1Now in its 9th edition, the Energy Trading Operations & Technology Summit – ETOT remains the place to meet key energy players and discuss best practices and ways of overcoming – as an industry – the most pressing challenges around operational and technology issues.

Over the two days of presentations, panel discussions and case studies, ETOT will be bringing together expert practitioners from leading energy trading companies, to share best practices and insights.

IMPORTANT TOPICS TO BE COVERED IN THIS YEAR’S EDITION INCLUDE:

• Cost-cutting projects• Operational excellence• IT Innovation• Clearing landscape• Cash management optimisation• System integration, etc..

WORKSHOPS will take place on the third day of the Summit to ensure in-depth coverage of additional operational and IT

topics, including MiFID II implementation, leaner reporting processes, technology novelties and how to use them in energy trading, and data management and utilisation.

ENERGY TRADING TRANSFORMATION

The energy markets are changing, with fewer new entrances, and new ways of trading and processing.

Energy trading companies must adapt to these changes, and try to make the most out of them.

ETOT 2017 will provide updates on the deep industry changes, as well as on the subsequent cost-cutting

projects companies are developing.

BACK OFFICEThe decreasing liquidity of markets and regulations

are putting a lot of pressure on the back office, enticing this central department to rethink and

streamline processes, including reporting, clearing, cash management, settlement. The Summit will focus on these areas in a dedicated stream of sessions led by

business and operations experts.

TECHNOLOGYA large part of the changes in the industry can be

traced back to technology development. Development of digital trading, new technologies such as blockchain and cloud computing, are all shaping energy trading.

An IT-focused stream will allow for specific discussions around IT innovation but will also cover IT strategy

challenges such as reporting or system mergers.
