Where Ideas Meet Insight
Join Exegy on 15 April 2026 from 10.00 to 16.00 in London for the Capital Markets Innovation Summit
Exegy is elevating its London gathering to the Capital Markets Innovation Summit—a concise, senior-level forum on current market structure and infrastructure shifts.
Throughout the day, we’ll focus on two realities firms are facing right now: expanding access to frontier markets and keeping infrastructure reliable as market data loads become more unpredictable. You’ll hear practical perspectives from peers, along with Exegy's leaders on what these shifts mean for architecture, resiliency, and operating models.
Expect a keynote, an executive panel, and real-world examples — with time built in to connect over lunch and continue the conversation during the cocktail reception.
- Keynote address by Tim Gorham, CEO, Strands
- Interactive Panel Discussion
- Explore Real-World Success Stories With Our Thought Leaders in Action Segment
- Exegy’s Vision for the Future
- Exam of Exegy’s Business Solutions

Lunch
Exegy Executive Perspective
Scaling to Frontier Markets Without Scaling Risk
Arnaud Derasse | CTO, Exegy
Steve Tracy | VP, VP, Market Data Feedhandlers, Exegy
Frontier markets are expanding in relevance as firms pursue new pools of liquidity and access. The challenge becomes: how do you support growth across more markets, more venues, and more operating models while maintaining visibility, governance, and consistent price confidence?
Why Attend: Growth into new markets introduces new risks. How do you scale access to liquidity without losing control? This session explores how firms are solving that in practice
Thought Leaders in Action
Gael Vasseur | Head of GES Product Strategy, Nomura
moderated by Laurent de Barry | CPO, Exegy
As FPGA technology becomes foundational to modern trading infrastructure, firms face new decisions on how to scale it across global environments.
This session explores how leaders balance internal development with external partnerships and shift toward hardware-driven determinism.
Why Attend: Gain a strategic perspective on the "non-obvious" lessons learned from scaling hardware-accelerated solutions across a global footprint and how to future-proof your multi-year infrastructure roadmap.
Exegy Executive Perspective
Conquering Capacity Strain with Smarter Infrastructure
Laurent de Barry | CPO, Exegy
Olivier Cousin | Director FPGA Solutions, Exegy
The infrastructure debate is shifting, and the race for ultra-low latency is very much still on. However, raw speed is no longer the sole metric of success; today’s firms require absolute determinism during unpredictable market spikes, the agility to upgrade instantly, and a relentless focus on cost and complexity control. As signals grow more complex and data loads reach record rates, global market connectivity has evolved from a simple trading input into the high-performance foundation of the entire enterprise.
Why Attend: Discover how firms are modernizing their data stack to leverage global connectivity, unify fragmented systems and unlock performance, flexibility, and scale.
Break
Thought Leaders in Action
Eglantine Desautel | CEO, EuroCTP
moderated by Arnaud Derasse | CTO, Exegy
As market structure evolves across regions, initiatives like consolidated tapes are reshaping how firms access, interpret, and act on market data. For leaders driving these efforts, the challenge is balancing business objectives, regulatory requirements, and technical implementation—often across multiple stakeholders and operating models.
Why Attend: Fragmented markets make consolidation complex. How do you unify data without losing control or performance? See how firms are solving this in practice.
