9:20 - 9:40
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
This keynote will discuss the key macroeconomic and geopolitical developments shaping the global business environment.

From data feeds to AI workflows: Rebuilding the investment research stack
9:40 - 10:00
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
AI is transforming investment research, but most data infrastructure was built for human analysts, not AI agents. As firms move from data consumption to AI-driven workflows, data quality alone is no longer enough.
In this session, Bloomberg will discuss what makes data truly AI-ready: rich context, seamless inter-connectivity, and flexible access. Join Bloomberg as they explore how multiple datasets can be connected into a knowledge graph, enabling AI systems to uncover relationships, navigate complex information, and generate deeper research insights.

Beyond level-3.500000000 market data
10:00 - 10:20
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
This session explores how the unparalleled transparency and determinism of the Eurex, Xetra, and EEX venues can be leveraged to extract unique institutional insights. Join this deep-dive into sophisticated, niche features of Deutsche Börse's market data and analytics suite, including real-time market concentration indices for posted liquidity and sub-nanosecond synchronized hardware timestamps for precision latency analysis. Attendees will discover our unified T+1 flow decomposition and learn how to utilize 10 to 25 years of deep historical data to model participant behavior during critical market shocks. Whether you are a high-frequency trader or a long-term asset manager, this talk demonstrates how to harness these datasets (many of which are available for testing at no cost) to navigate volatility and refine execution strategies in the modern market landscape.
Stefan Schlamp
Director, Head of Quantitative Analytics, Deutsche Börse
The great blur: When traditional data becomes alternative and vice versa
10:20 - 10:50
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
As traditional and alternative data merge, the alternative label is often used to drive buyer interest. This panel explores the ramifications of this blurred taxonomy, focusing on how institutional AI usage policies reshape ingestion and alpha generation. We examine the commercial shift as exchanges rewrite licensing for non-display use and adopt compute-based pricing for machine consumption. Experts will discuss how firms capture value when AI-ready signals and legacy feeds become indistinguishable.

Workshop: Mapping retail behaviour across fragmented equity markets
10:10 - 10:50
Lothbury Library - Workshop Room
European equity markets remain highly fragmented across exchanges, MTFs and SIs, making retail behaviour increasingly difficult to identify and analyse consistently. This workshop explores how retail trading activity can be mapped across fragmented markets using market structure and retail flow data, and how behavioural patterns emerge during macro events and shifting market conditions. We will also discuss how retail flow intelligence complements broader market visibility initiatives, including the evolution of the European equities Consolidated Tape.

This session examines how buy‑side firms are modernising FX execution models using cloud‑based trading technology, with a focus on data, transparency, and decision‑making. Using Currenex Now as a case study, it will explore how firms can generate better execution insight, improve workflow efficiency, and access institutional liquidity, while reducing dependence on opaque, legacy infrastructure.

De-dollarisation: Navigating the data behind the debate
11:50 - 12:10
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
The global shift away from dollar-denominated dominance is accelerating. With increasing tariff pressures and rising global conflict, Trump’s second term has brought de-dollarisation into the spotlight. For institutional investors, this global trend represents both risk and opportunity. The question is, which datasets provide a genuinely useful lens? This presentation maps the data use cases best placed to track de-dollarisation across four dimensions: FX pricing and swap curves, commodity trade settlement, FX flow data and central bank reserve reallocation.

Retail flows and reshaping institutional alpha
12:10 - 12:30
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
In an era where a single viral post can move a multi-billion-dollar market cap faster than a central bank report, how should institutional investors be treating retail flows? This session examines how professional desks are pivoting from tracking memestocks to integrating retail sentiment into every trade. We will explore whether the current infrastructure from major exchanges and vendors meets modern needs, or if the retail-aware algorithm is the only way to survive. Join us to discuss how institutional strategy is evolving to account for the swift movements of the modern market.

A strategic data framework for approaching the modern commodities markets
12:30 - 1:00
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
The modern approach to commodities has transitioned from basic supply–demand modelling to a sophisticated analysis of physical and digital convergence. This session focuses on the core strategic questions investors must address when navigating these markets, emphasising how traditional commodity data is being recontextualised by the rise of alternative datasets. We will examine the shifting methodology for evaluating market entry, the critical internal questions driving portfolio construction, and the evolving hierarchy between legacy fundamental reports and real-time alternative signals in determining true market value.

CLS Group will demonstrate how their aggregated, anonymized traded data helps quantitative analysts, heads of research and portfolio managers assess trading models, enhance execution strategies and identify shifts in market behaviour.

AI as a research multiplier
2:00 - 2:20
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
AI reasoning has become a commodity, every quant team has access to the same foundation models. So where does the edge come from? It comes from the system around the model: the quality of ideas a team can test, the speed of the research cycle, and the proprietary data and context only they have. Research code is not software engineering code, and an agent optimised for software throughput solves the wrong problem for research. We present a research-native approach: domain-specific AI agents that understand your data, scaffold analyses end-to-end, and parallelise across regimes in a single call. Through a live demo on real data, we show how collapsing the dependency chain, from hypothesis to deployed analysis, turns research infrastructure from a bottleneck into a compounding capability.

Terminal sprawl: Where is your market data budget really going?
2:20 - 2:50
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage

Finding alpha in a changing ETF market
2:50 - 3:10
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
ETFs are no longer a passive story. Active ETFs are scaling, non-traditional instruments are finding their way into wrappers, and thematic vehicles are maturing into an allocation tool. Prediction markets are becoming the next frontier. This session examines what's changed, what's coming, and what it means for how the buyside accesses markets.

Millisecond markets: Automating the lifecycle of fundamental data
3:10 - 3:40
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
Does the human touch still add value in a world of millisecond processing or has the human role shifted entirely to setting the guardrails for an invisible AI stack? The lifecycle of fundamental data has undergone a radical transformation. As earnings transcripts, consensus estimates and regulatory filings transition from static documents to real-time AI feeds, the human-in-the-loop model is being challenged by agentic intelligence. This session explores how filings are being fed to LLMS, the shrinking alpha of manual data entry and the best practice approaches to governance.

The machine consumer: Can traditional licensing survive agentic workflows?
4:00 - 4:30
Leadenhall Hub - Main Stage
With AI agents on the rise, can traditional licensing models survive the rise of the machine consumer? Join this discussion of the friction between antiquated per-user fees and Model Context Protocols (MCPs), exploring how new technology is being used to automate integration and transform workflows towards agentic workflows. This panel will explore whether providers are ready for the AI era, how tech is mitigating aggressive audits and if machine-readability has become one of the industry’s most valuable currencies.
