The Training Course

The MiFID II Operational Compliance Training Course is more than just about knowledge and training, it seeks to provide attendees with advanced strategic insight into MiFID II operational technologies.

It will provide attendees with greater insight into MiFID II technology and software solutions, how to strategically leverage MiFID II to save costs and gain benefits, and insights into next generation MiFID II analysis technologies.
