The Power of Community at Energy Trading Week: What to Expect in 2024

Written by Matthew Bush | Sep 3, 2024 1:48:43 AM

Energy Trading Week (ETW) 2024 is almost here, and I’m looking forward to another opportunity to connect with colleagues, clients, and industry professionals across the energy trading landscape. Over the years, I’ve found great value in this event - not only for the chance to deepen existing relationships but also for the opportunity to forge new ones.

One of the most fascinating aspects of ETW is how it brings together people who may live in the same city - Hamburg, for instance - but only meet for the first time in another city at a conference like this. It’s a powerful reminder of the global nature of our industry and the importance of events like ETW in fostering connections, new and old. As someone who has been attending ETW (and its various previous incarnations) for seven years now, I’ve always valued it as one of the industry’s key events. For me, ETW isn’t just about learning what’s happening in the market - it’s about seeing beyond your day-to-day role and uncovering the trends that will shape our industry’s future.

This year, given my recent arrival at Fidectus, I’m particularly looking forward to sessions in the ETOT and ETRC agendas. I’m eager to hear the industries views on the adoption of the eSM standard and even get into that ‘Deep dive into REMIT’. The event always offers a space to progress conversations with prospects and partners, but the real learning often comes from those informal chats that happen in between. That’s where you truly get a sense of where the industry is heading. 

How we can support your success  

Our company focuses on enabling our clients to thrive. We’re here to support professionals in doing their best work, helping them develop their careers with the right tools and resources. The post-trade space may sometimes seem like an overlooked corner of the business, but it is essential to get things right. When post-trade processes work smoothly, no one notices - yet when there are issues, the impact can be significant. Our mission is to ensure that our clients succeed by providing business services that are built to last and support their growth. 

As the energy trading industry continues to evolve, moving toward greater automation of confirmation and settlement processes is becoming increasingly important for companies looking to stay ahead. It’s exciting to see how these changes can help professionals advance in their careers, and we are dedicated to playing a role in that progression. Our goal is to equip energy companies and commodity traders with solutions that support their post-trade activities, helping them to navigate this landscape with confidence and ease. 

Come visit us at our booth or book a meeting 

If you’re attending ETW and are looking for a more effective way to handle your post-trading operations, I’d encourage you to stop by our booth. Even if it’s just for a chat, we’d be delighted to share our insights and explore how we can help you transform your post-trading to cash processes. Hope to see you there!
