Periods of crisis demand access to high quality, consistent, timely data, as the oil that keeps the cogs in our economic machine running. This half-day forum addresses how standards
have been used to manage investment risk; and how they can and should be leveraged further, to plan for future crises.
This year’s program will also feature practical, real world examples, of how individual and professional analysts can use XBRL data in their investment process. Post-conference, attendees
will be invited to deep-dive training webinars on tools to access free, timely, granular, XBRL data.
Please note – this event has been changed to an online format spanning two days with 5 minute breaks between sessions on each day.
Complimentary registration is required – register today
