16th Anniversary Annual Algo Trading Conference 2026
About the event
Everyone is talking about AI in trading. Far fewer people will show you one being built, then break it on purpose. That is how our 16th anniversary edition opens, and there are two more sessions after it.
Why attend?
• An agent built live, then broken on purpose. The workshop wires an AI agent to research, code and test a strategy idea end to end in a notebook, then goes after it: leakage from a generated pipeline, overfitting that survives a backtest, drift after deployment. You see where the tool earns its place and where it is autocomplete with confidence. • Inside a real HFT setup. A fireside chat on the machinery most people in this field read about but never see: co-location, feed handlers, order gateways, what each layer costs in latency, and how much of the edge is engineering rather than signal. • What all of this does to the job. A careers panel with voices from broking, investment management and industry. Which parts of a quant's role have already been absorbed, which have not moved at all, and what hiring managers are screening for now that they were not three years ago. • Immediate utility. Participants get the workshop notebook, which runs in the browser with nothing to install, plus a checklist of the specific ways AI-assisted work goes wrong and how each one is caught. • Efficient format. Three focused sessions, three hours, virtual delivery, live Q&A in all three. Participation is capped to keep the Q&A substantive.
