IRN announces its 2nd Annual Energy Trading Operations and Technology 2012 Summit |13th - 14th November in Houston

ETOT 2012 is happening at a time of necessity when companies will find out whether they are a swap dealer, and what they must implement within their technological and operational strategies in order to fully comply with the regulatory restrictions of the Dodd-Frank Act.

The regulatory changes have substantial implications for back office procedures, as they have pressed for greater efficiency within IT structures and more stringent measures within compliance, reporting, analytics, data management and risk management. This means energy trading businesses need to review all operational and technology strategies to both ensure compliance and maximise efficiency in tight timelines.

The Speaking faculty consists of key speakers from;

- CFTC
- FERC
- Mercuria Energy Trading
- Deutsche Bank
- Hess Corporation
- First Texas Energy Corporation
- Gavilon group

...and many others. Please visit our speaker page for the full list at http://www.etothouston2012.com/
