Remembering #SIBOS 2013 in pictures

Due to the poor WiFi conectivity last week – did I mention that? – I didn’t post many photos of SIBOS. Usually, I would post a whole load, so here are some of my favourite memories of last week. Obviously, there are the memories of Dubai itself, with Burj Khalifa and Burj Al-Arab mentioned in…

SWIFT must stick to its “True North” (#Sibos 18)

As we leave SIBOS 2013, there are many good memories from the great conversations around innotribe, to the buzz of the exhibit hall – and yes, there was a buzz this year – to the immersion in the mainstream sessions to the fun evenings engaging in fine wine, food and dialogue.

The two were very different as you can probably tell from the innotribe opening where Innes Macleod of the innotribe team entertained us with a…

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…

Waking up on day four, the final day of SIBOS, I am greeted by yet another hazy sunny morning and a complementary hazy head. That's normal. So finishing off day three was a wonderfully relaxed experience. First, congratulations to the winners of the Innotribe Start-up Challenge at #Sibos! The top Start-up is KlickEx (who gave…
