Join Markets Media on Thursday June 14th at the W Chicago City Center for our second annual Chicago Trading: The Professionals; bringing together traders from all corners of Chicago finance to talk shop under one roof.
The conference features a high-profile keynote address followed by two interactive panel sessions that will drill down into the topics of both floor and upstairs trading and derivatives.
