Proprietary Trading & CTA Managers’ Meeting, Chicago

Acuiti’s Proprietary Trading & CTA Managers’ Meeting is a closed-door, invite-only event for Senior Executives from Proprietary Trading Firms to come together to discuss the pressing issues of the day.

Acuiti events stand out from the crowd. We got rid of the panel format to create a genuinely interactive forum where all attendees can take part in the discussion.
