iFX EXPO International 2024 has once again cemented its status
as the online trading industry’s supreme stomping ground for pros and leaders
from both FX and fintech. The event was a beacon for business collaboration and
networking – a haven for growth and development for participants and
exhibitors.
The expo
kicked off this year with a spectacular Welcome Party at the Columbia Beach
Resort, setting the tone for the days ahead. As the sun set, attendees enjoyed
a vibrant evening of networking in a relaxed and festive atmosphere, laying the
foundation for fruitful interactions in the days ahead. The next morning, the
floor bustled with more participants than ever before, this year marking the
largest iFX EXPO to date. A record-breaking attendance of around 5000 visitors,
1600-plus companies and more than 100 speakers pushed last year’s numbers up by
a staggering 18%. Delegates from over 120 countries made this truly a global
event, highlighting the widespread influence and reach of iFX EXPO
International 2024.
