Istanbullish About FX! Forex Magnates' First Turkey FX Conference

Forex Magnates is proud to announce its first-ever Turkey FX Conference, targeting the country dubbed ‘The Next Regional Hub’ for the industry. The first Turkey FX Conference will take place on April 4-5, 2014, at Istanbul’s most luxurious venue, Ciragan Palace Kempinski Hotel. The prestigious event will host both industry professionals (B2B) as well as traders (B2C), with agenda and activities aimed at catering to both groups' needs.

The Forex Magnates Conference in Istanbul will span two days. Events on April 4 will encompass the successful business-to-business formula of Forex Magnates' events worldwide. April 5 will be dedicated to a world-first feature for Forex Magnates, in the form of a business-to-customer focus to target the domestic market among the nation’s population of 75 million. The B2C event will be hosted by FXStreet, and seeks to garner interest across a wide spectrum of the world's FX traders and companies alike, as well as to allow brokers and traders to interact face to face.

Structured Bridge between East and West

Turkey has quickly risen to prominence as a preferable location for FX market participants. Initially, national interest in FX began just less than five years ago when the nation did not have a defined regulatory structure. Nowadays, Turkey enjoys a stringent, government supervised regulatory structure, technology companies that provide infrastructure and systems to the FX industry, high-quality derivatives exchanges and brokers that continue to make their mark as successful enterprises.

With this considerably refined industry now in place, Turkey is viewed as a strategically significant region as it allows practical access to Western venues and advanced technology, and yet is ideally positioned to serve Eastern European client bases in surrounding nations which are experiencing growth in their economies.

Keen Domestic Market

A few of the event's prominent sponsors shared their views with Forex Magnates about the Conference. Kıvanç Memişoğlu, CEO of Integral Menkul Değerler, said that, "Integral Menkul Degerler is proud of being one of the sponsors of the Turkey FX Conference. As a leading company in the Turkish Forex sector, Integral Menkul Degerler feels responsible for presentation of the sector, as well as supporting all projects that serve to increase the common knowledge about this field. We invite all Forex investors to this conference and aim to create the ultimate Forex investor profile in Turkey."

Destek Menkul Degerler is one of the top sponsors of the event and will host a special trading competition for traders attending the second day. Demir Savatli, Head of Marketing & Sales at Destek Menkul Degerler, told Forex Magnates: "Destek Menkul Degerler is proud to be one of the top sponsors of the Turkey FX Conference. We believe it will be a great opportunity for potential investors to meet face to face with industry leaders and have an understanding of what different companies are offering. The event will hopefully serve many different sectors from exporters/ importers with currency risk, to jewelers that have an open interest in precious metals, to retail investors that may benefit from investing in Forex. It will also be a great venue discussing how strong CMB’s Turkish regulation and Takasbank element are, making Turkey a potential financial center for our industry not only locally, but also internationally."

FXTCR's Managing Director Anil Abbak, said that the firm, carrying the half-century old Tacirler Securities’ legacy in Turkey's financial industry, is aiming to raise the financial intellectuality in Turkey. "We are delighted to have the opportunity to be a part of the globally known Forex Magnates event in Turkey. We are looking forward to have the chance to show off our services and business understanding, that are client-oriented and based on cutting edge technology in the largest market, forex," Mr. Abbak added.

"GSForex is unique in the global financial industry as it's a joint brand created by Turkey’s leading Broker Tacirler Securities and the globally known football team Galatasaray. We are delighted to have such a product for our clients. We support the regular sponsorship of this product, which we believe is solidly showing our company’s understanding of team work and synergy of trust. We are looking forward to welcoming the market actors and Galatasaray supporters to our booth to have a closer look at our offering and a chance to meet in person. We also invite all attendees to come to our booth and grab the surprises of Galatasaray," Mr. Abbak added.

Also sponsoring the event are Advanced Markets, Saxo Bank, oneZero, KCG Hotspot, FXCM Pro, xtb.com and others. 

A prime opportunity for networking, an exclusive, invitee-only B2B evening party on the 4th of April will host delegates who will be able to meet the movers and shakers within the industry, as well as reflect and discuss today’s hottest topics. This final event will bring the B2B day to a close, and make way for the lively second day of B2C, where the doors will open to all attendees.
