DAY 2 | Tuesday, January 26

11:05 AM Market Microstructure Reset — Fee Caps, Tick Size & Order Protection in 2027

The biggest proposed change to US equity market structure in twenty years is landing now. The SEC has proposed rescinding Rule 611 — the trade-through rule that has shaped every routing decision since 2005 — and delayed the sub-cent tick size and access fee cap amendments to late 2027. What does a post-Rule 611 world mean for your routing logic, your best-execution framework, and your venue relationships? And how do information leakage, bilateral trading, private rooms, and single-dealer platforms fit into the new landscape? The panel that decodes the most consequential structural story of the year. 

1:45 PM Beyond the Benchmark – Rebuilding Execution Analytics for a Market That Won't Stand Still

The market you're measuring no longer looks like the market your TCA was built for. Bilateral streams don't print to the tape. AI-driven routing makes thousands of micro-decisions no benchmark was designed to judge. Overnight sessions trade in liquidity conditions your peer universe has never seen. This panel brings together buy-side analytics leaders and execution researchers to get practical about what comes next: which of your current metrics still tell the truth, where standard benchmarks now reward the wrong behavior, what pre-trade and real-time analytics can actually deliver today, and how the best desks are rebuilding their measurement frameworks to keep pace. Leave with a clear-eyed view of what to keep, what to fix, and what to throw out.
