"Young Markets is all about opportunities in markets whether the 'emerging geographies' or 'emerging products in the developed world," explains conference founder and Chairman Patrick L Young. "In a world of narrowly focussed events, we wanted to have an opportunity to bring delegates around the table to discuss interesting new opportunities across asset classes, regardless of geography.
Therefore, Young Markets is the new forum for all aspects of new products on exchanges, in asset management and IT. We believe that alpha needs innovation. After all, today's cutting edge innovation is tomorrow's plain vanilla product."
"At a time when many are pessimistic about the outlook for markets, we see fascinating clouds of innovation which are changing the firmament of finance and creating remarkable opportunities for tangible investment for the future. The goal of Young Markets is to showcase and discuss such innovation & help bring new and upcoming products into the mainstream where they can benefit investors and the public alike.
Physical & Virtual Events
The inaugural event will take place in Sibiu, Transylvania 19-21st September, a historic city in the New Europe, an intriguing mid- point between the established west and the emerging east.
In addition to the delegates attending in Sibiu, Young Markets will also be live on the internet broadcasting to virtual delegates. For a 100 Euro fee, anybody anywhere in the world can watch Young markets live.
"We see the addition of live video from the entire event as a logical progression of the conference model in the digital age," adds Chairman Patrick Young.
