Back for its third year, FinTech Exchange 2017 will be held on April 27th at VenueSIX10 in downtown Chicago, and will feature presentations and roundtables from over 20 innovative firms during this all-day, expanded event. Presentations will focus on a variety of topics including machine learning, exchange technology, data analytics and visualization, tick data management, big data and artificial intelligence, cloud security, market data and trading software.
