    The Search for Block Liquidity - Cost, Risk and Complexity of achieving Best Execution

    May 26, 2010, New York City

    This is the first Industry event dedicated to Block Liquidity. It will address the mechanism of Block Trading, from the perspective of Block ATS and institutions accessing block liquidity:

    • Mechanism of Block Trading - Access, Negotiation, Order Types, Fees
    • What anti-gaming surveillances are in place?
    • Does Size Matter? Can higher average trade size be a better indication of efficacy of block matching?
    • Should size for Block reporting exemption be defined based on liquidity and market-cap of stocks?
    • Is consolidation in Block ATS space a possibility?
