All Set for 4th NSE Market Data Workshop

By Dipo Olowookere

Organisers of the annual Market Data Workshop of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) are very busy trying to ensure the forthcoming programme is successful.

This year event, the 4th edition, is slated for Wednesday, September 11, 2019, at the Harbour Point on Victoria Island, Lagos and is themed Partnerships, Products and the Customer.

The one-day event, which is an exhibition-styled workshop, will feature presentations and panel discussions from thought leaders within the industry, with interested participants expected to register online at http://www.nse.com.ng/mdw-2019​.

The 2019 NSE Market Data Workshop will bring together investors, market data aggregators, exchanges, market regulators, government agencies, broker-dealers, media and other capital market stakeholders to discuss market data products and partnerships opportunities available to launch customer-centric products, while leveraging on strategic synergies and technologies to drive market participation.

Commenting on the event, Mr Jude Chiemeka, Divisional Head, Trading Business, NSE, stated that “we launched this event four years ago to create awareness on the critical application of market data in making sound investment decisions whilst highlighting the various data products available in the Nigerian marketplace.

“As technology evolves, what can be considered useful data is changing. It is, for this reason, we instituted the NSE Market Data Workshop to inspire market participants and the wider ecosystem to become more innovative in the use of market data as they strive to leapfrog performance through the use of the many market data solutions offered by NSE.”

“This event which presents a high-profile business networking opportunity for market stakeholders has become a signature industry event due to the quality of its content, speakers, participants, and publicity received since its maiden edition in 2016.

“For this year, we have received sponsorship boost from Infoware Limited and HP Nigeria. Sponsorship of the event provides an excellent opportunity to increase your company’s presence and take advantage of networking opportunities. Our standard sponsorship packages can be found on the event registration page and we welcome potential sponsors/partners,” Mr Chiemeka added.
