STA Unveils Annual Confab Line-up

The Security Traders Association has released the lineup of panels and speakers for its annual market structure conference in Washington next month.

Headlining the three-day event as keynote speaker is Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Jo White. The Chairman kicks off the event on Wednesday, October 2, with a speech during the afternoon.

Scheduled immediately following White is panel discussion about the JOBS Act that will focus on topics other than the possibility of a larger trading increment. Jeffrey Solomon, Cowen & Co.’s chief executive, will discuss JOBS along with Cromwell Coulson, OTC Markets’ topper, and Dr. Frank Hatheway, Nasdaq’s chief economist.

The controversial “trade-at” proposal will get a workout later on that Wednesday. Dave Franasiak, a principal with attorneys Williams & Jensen, will guide Scottrade’s Matt Billings and TD Ameritrade’s Paul Jigantii over that terrain along with other topics important to retail flow providers.
