London, April 16, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire) - Over 2000 senior traders from
buy and sell side firms are gathering at the 10th annual TradeTech
2010 conference and expo on the 20th - 22nd April 2010 in London.

networking website, pre and post event: TradeTechonline.com.

This space allows each participant to browse and search on:
- The program schedule and profile of each speaker,
- The list of sponsors and those representing them,
- The complete catalogue of exhibitors and teams present at each
exhibition stand
- The full list of participants and organizers (via a search engine
based on business criteria)

arrange appointments in advance

Each category allows any TradeTech participant to:
- Initiate a chat with the speakers pre-event to discuss their conference
topic expectations
- Anticipate who will be on the stands to advertise services
- Schedule appointments with exhibitors
- Trace known persons
- Arrange business appointments with members on a direct dialogue basis
- Continue discussions with fellow participants post event

During the three days of the TradeTech event, all participants
will be able to access TradeTechOnline.com and the WBR team will be
onsite to help new comers to the service navigate the website and
identify how the system can help individuals to meet business
objectives.
