Next Performance Summit: October 27, NY

The next STAC Performance Summit, a general meeting of the STAC Benchmark Council, will be 3pm on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at Deutsche Bank’s auditorium, 60 Wall Street in New York. Register here.

Note that attendance from end-user firms (sell-side, buy-side, exchange/ATS) is unlimited, and those end-user firms that are not already members can attend by becoming Observer Members (follow the links from the meeting registration page above). Vendor members can send two representatives (sponsors can send more).

Ed Bugnion, CTO of Cisco's Server Access and Virtualization Business Unit and former co-founder of VMWare will provide the opening keynote address. The meeting will cover topics in trade execution, messaging, and market data, as well as how Council members are putting STAC Benchmarks into practice. And, by popular demand, we're bringing back the Innovation Roundup, in which vendors have 5 minutes to present a new product or case study to the Council.

The detailed agenda will be posted soon. If you have suggestions, please email council@STACresearch.com.

Thanks in advance to Cisco, the Platinum Sponsor for this meeting, and to Aleri and RNA Networks, who have signed on as Gold Sponsors. Additional vendors interested in sponsoring or participating in the Innovation Roundup should contact council@STACresearch.com.
