Eurex no-shows in Chicago

Whatever its rivals, and even its friends, say about its technology, one thing is certain about Swiss/German derivatives exchange Eurex: it knows how to throw a great party. Twice a year the Futures Industry Association hosts a three-day gathering – in Florida’s Boca Raton in March, and in Chicago in November. At each event, Eurex hosts the party.

At the last Boca Raton shindig, for example, it managed to entice a certain Ray Charles, blues musician extraordinaire, to provide the entertainment.
