Notes to Editors

The Global Forex Traders Conference is a new 1-day event hosted by IBTimesFX and ForexTV. The conference differentiates itself from others by its focus on education (thought-challenging panels and conferences that are aimed to helping traders make more successful trades) and the presence of 2 worlds in one place: the institutional and the retail world.
