Maureen Lowe, the founder of FTF will ring in the Nasdaq trading day on Thursday as FTF’s Social Media and Compliance conference gets underway downtown.
Subscribers to FTF News and attendees of FTF’s events already know the company has its finger on the pulse of the post-trade processing realm of securities trading. But tomorrow morning the founder and CEO of FTF will literally take the markets by the hand as Maureen Lowe rings the NASDAQ opening bell.
On Thursday, Sept. 18, as the Founder, President and Editor-in-Chief of FTF News Lowe will ring in a new day in the markets and a new chapter for the company. The bell ringing will occur just as FTF’s Social Media and Compliance (SMAC) conference will be kicking off downtown at Convene, 32 Old Slip, in downtown Manhattan.
She will be joined on the Nasdaq platform by the senior members of the FTF team and a handful of speakers from SMAC, among them senior executives from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and American Express.
Some of the SMAC speakers joining Lowe include:
- Marla Bergman, vice president, associate general counsel at Goldman Sachs
- Mark Bisard, vice president, senior counsel at American Express
- Mitchell Bompey, managing director of compliance at Morgan Stanley
- Nathan Bricklin, head of Collaboration and Social Strategy at Wells Fargo
“On behalf of the entire FTF team, I am honored to be ringing the opening bell tomorrow,” Lowe says. “We were thrilled when NASDAQ contacted us about this once in a life time opportunity and I think it represents a harbinger of what we expect to be a very busy and exciting year here at FTF.”
The FTF SMAC event will feature a variety of speakers exploring innovative social media strategies without running afoul of industry regulators.
“Social media is disrupting old ways of doing business across the financial services industry, and Nasdaq is the perfect setting as it is known for attracting groundbreaking firms that have disrupted their respective sectors,” Lowe says. “Every year FTF hosts one of the most comprehensive social media conferences in the financial services industry. We are dedicated to making the most of this powerful tool and we will continue to foster thought-leadership in this area for many years to come,” she adds.
