Remembering #SIBOS 2013 in pictures

T2S, CCP, CSD, SSS, LSEG … WTF? (#Sibos 15)

After a great cappuccino from Franco, it’s off to the first session of the day which is a different one to my norm. It’s T2S time! Yes, I do talk about and have many links with the investment and post-trade community thanks to my work on MiFID and EMIR, but I just don’t blog about…
