Another Derivatives Week has come to an end, and just like last year we had a record number of guests attending. A wide range of investors, banks and brokers from 15 different countries were represented among the close to 400 people who came to listen to our prominent speakers.

		Over the three days, our guest speakers, Denise Hubbard, Emanuel Derman, Espen Gaarder Haug and William Sharpe presented theories, trends, and personal experiences on derivatives strategies and trading. Thursday’s keynote seminar drew a full house with Nobel Prize winner Dr. William Sharpe as the main attraction. In between presentations, the guests took the opportunity to mingle, exchange knowledge and catch up with industry peers over coffee and lunch. We hope that you enjoyed the event, and brought with you new knowledge and insight about the derivatives market.

To refresh your memory, we have put together a picture gallery from the event. We also had an opportunity to ask some questions to the speakers. Thanks again for you interest in NASDAQ OMX Derivatives Week 2008. We look forward to seeing you next year!
