FLASH FRIDAY is a weekly content series looking at the past, present and future of capital markets trading and technology. FLASH FRIDAY is sponsored by Instinet, a Nomura Company.
Markets Media Group’s 2020 Women in Finance Awards will be broadcast on Wednesday, December 3 at 4:15 pm New York time.
There is no registration required for this event; simply visit the WIF landing page at the appointed hour to view the broadcast. A replay will be available to view afterwards.
Our editorial staff and Advisory Board has been hard at work over the past few months reviewing scores of outstanding nominees, and we’re proud that our 2020 winners lineup is stronger than ever.
The WIF program recognizes and celebrates some of the most talented and accomplished women in multiple categories across financial services. There will be almost 30 awards presented at this year’s WIF awards, including Excellence in Trading, Excellence in Fintech, Trailblazer, CEO of the Year, and Lifetime Achievement. There will also be a special Positive Impact Award, sponsored by Instinet.
This year’s event will be the sixth annual; following the first five that were held live in New York, the 2020 program will be a digital event.
