Tomorrow, Symphony Innovate 2019 will bring together more than 600 executives and technology experts from around the world to learn, share, network and discuss the role of technology, security and collaboration in financial services. The 2019 conference, Symphony’s sixth conference, will focus on the theme of “Trust Propels Progress” and will feature presentations from industry leaders about the tools needed to streamline secure collaboration, connect information systems and automate workflow across regulated industries.
We are especially grateful for our 25 sponsors who have partnered with us to help make Innovate a success year after year. Our Platinum sponsors will be presenting their insights and technology on the main stage throughout the day, in addition to having their company on display on the tradeshow floor along with our Gold and Silver sponsor brands.
The Symphony Partner Program fosters an ecosystem of more than 50 innovative companies who share a common goal of developing workflow and content applications and integrations to extend Symphony. These partners offer complementary business applications to Symphony’s platform, and use the backdrop of Innovate to develop key business opportunities and relationships.
“Attending Innovate and connecting with over 600 technology experts from around the world is one of our favorite ways to show off what’s new in the world of pre- and post-trade charting. We are looking forward to sponsoring Innovate 2019,” said Dan Schleifer, CEO of ChartIQ, a Platinum sponsor of Innovate 2019.
