FMRC conferences bring together academics, regulators, and industry professionals annually to analyze and discuss current issues related to financial markets. This longstanding tradition began under Hans R. Stoll's steadfast leadership in 1988. Focusing on themes like the stock market crash of 1987, the launch of the VIX, exchange-traded products, and global risk, each conference affords finance's best and brightest a unique opportunity to think critically about pressing issues in the world of finance.
