Hudson River Trading’s BIPOC Tech Summit
Hudson River Trading is proud to host our first-ever BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color) Tech Summit: a virtual platform for BIPOC undergraduate, graduate, and experienced engineering talent to learn, talk, and network around tech in the quantitative finance industry! Attendees will get an inside look at what it’s like to work in the world of automated trading, and have the opportunity to learn about the interesting technical problems we tackle on a daily basis. Join us for talks, panels, and networking sessions hosted by HRT engineers covering a wide scope of topics, including artificial intelligence in trading, demystifying decentralized finance, asynchronous programming, a “how to” guide on running a private cloud, and much more!
