Last week, Anova traveled to London for a one-day STAC Summit. The event brought together leaders in infrastructure, trading, AI, and operational intelligence to discuss technical challenges in trading and investment, as well as the future of high-performance systems.
As Anova expands its operations into the European market, the STAC event was a key opportunity to introduce our newest team member, Bruce Gibson, who will be instrumental in establishing AFN’s presence within the EU community. With over 20 years in telecom, Bruce has worked in both NY and London during his career at Bloomberg, Lucera, Packet Exchange, and Perseus Telcom on a wide range of services to the financial community.
Some of the key highlights included insights across several critical areas, including:
- Latest analytics benchmarks showcasing the state of the art in market data processing
- GPU performance metrics, deployment models, and evaluation methods specifically tailored for AI applications in finance
- Trade flow domains and research subscription frameworks
The Summit also featured AI-Driven panel discussions, such as:
- Building Software with AI
- AI-Driven Innovation for Low Latency Trading
- Adapting Messaging Platforms for New Data Demands:
STAC serves as a platform for staying informed on current industry developments and future trends. Building strong relationships and facilitating dialogue with clients and partners on these strategic topics remains a core priority for AFN’s ongoing product strategy.
