While the commodities market is famously cyclical, the past year has been marked by some particularly turbulent changes in the industry landscape. TXF was joined by a global range of traders, producers, financiers, investors, economists, academics and consultants to discuss this issue.
TXF will incorporate capped-attendance idea labs, small workshop groups, games, panel sessions plus the TXF duels to help the industry answer the following questions:
- Is traditional commodity finance dying?
- The Big Energy Debate: How do we find a way out of the current market volatility?
- What are traders’ treasury strategies for the next few years?
- What is behind the increasing number of prepayment arrangements and where have all the PXFs gone?
Plus more....
This year, TXF added an industry dinner to the schedule. A resounding success, it was an informal TXF style dinner off-site, where guests ccould discuss the issues raised on day one, and more importantly, have some fun.
For further details on the industry dinner, please email us.
